Job Description

In the Music Mission, we build the tools and services that enable creators to express themselves, promote their work, and connect with fans.  Discovery Mode is a key promotional tool that helps artists, labels, and licensors grow their audience while maintaining a high-quality listener experience.
 

We are looking for a Backend focused engineer to join the OASIS team.  OASIS builds and operates the systems that power promotion delivery and optimization within Discovery Mode.  Our work ensures that promotional content isn’t just "surfaced", but is intelligently allocated by balancing complex, competing objectives across our entire ecosystem.

The team is distributed and highly collaborative, working closely with Personalization (PZN) to serve high-quality promotion signals. You’ll be part of a small, impactful group of engineers across data and machine learning, owning a core piece of infrastructure that enables promotion delivery at scale.

The United States base range for this position is $125,562- $179,374 equity. The benefits available for this position include health insurance, six month paid parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, monthly meal allowance, 23 paid days off, 13 paid flexible holidays, paid sick leave. These ranges may be modified in the future.
