With over 4x the music catalog of every other major streaming platform, spanning 40+ million artists across 190+ countries, SoundCloud is where emerging artists find their sound, hidden gems are discovered, and music culture is shaped in real time.

We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Web Engineer to join the SoundCloud Fan Monetization team.
