Software Engineer, Distribution

At Warner Music Group, we’re a global collective of music makers and music lovers, tech innovators and inspired entrepreneurs, game-changing creatives and passionate team members. Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses: 

• Curiosity : We do our best work when we’re immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future. 

• Collaboration : Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans.

• Commitment : We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we’re committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises.

Technology is one of the most important parts of our business. Whether it’s signing up new artists; ensuring we provide the right data to Spotify, YouTube, and other digital service providers; or helping artists use the latest AI tools and make thoughtful decisions with data-driven insights – technology plays an invaluable role in our success. The engineering team at Warner Music Group makes all of it a reality. 

WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.

Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds – an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.

Your Role:

We are seeking a full-stack Software Engineer to join our Distribution team at a pivotal moment. We are reimagining how Warner Music delivers and monetizes music globally. You’ll work on cutting-edge products from horizontally scalable delivery pipelines to music release management frontends to AI-enabled tools for quality control, customer support and content generation! This is an exciting opportunity to work with a world-class, remote-first, multidisciplinary team to deliver impactful solutions for our artists and internal customers.

Here you’ll get to:

• Build products that matter: You’ll be building and scaling the core infrastructure and UI that empowers labels to own their release lifecycle, payments, and content creation while drastically reducing the load on our operations teams.


• Own the product life cycle : Understand customer needs, provision your infrastructure, iterate on requirements definition / coding / testing, while supporting your work in production.


• Work across the full-stack : Create backends and frontends for existing and greenfield systems using Python and TypeScript (React). Provision infrastructure on AWS using Pulumi (an IaC library), and maintain CICD pipelines in GitHub.


• Elevate your team : Join a capable and collaborative team - and help make it better!

About You:

• Experienced : You have at least 3 years of software engineering experience. An ideal candidate will have experience with distributed systems, integrating LLMs into products, and working with complex relational databases.


• Bias for action & efficiency : You work smart: disambiguating, earlying-up risks, unblocking yourself and your teammates, while executing with focus to deliver value quickly.


• Lifelong learner : You are passionate about your craft. You push yourself to learn and grow in both breadth and depth. You solicit feedback to continuously improve.


• Mission-driven : You care about your customers - WMG’s artists and the teams that support them - and you are motivated to deliver more of their content to more fans around the world!
