How you'll make an impact:
The Content Ingestion team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us. For this position, you will be working with the music ingestion services. These extract the needed metadata and assets out of deliveries from music labels. You will develop new services in the cloud and optimize existing ones. Help us expand our pipeline to handle the processing of 100's of millions of tracks. We also work with other teams across the SXM ecosystem to optimize the way we bring new content to our platforms.
What you'll do:
Ingestion of the data delivered by the music providers is where we start and then we develop the internal sources of truth that many teams depend on. Data science, collections and music analysts all rely on our services providing the timely processing of all new deliveries and updates. We also provide 3rd party data to help augment the tracks and albums. All this data provides a rich experience to the user when they play music on our platform.
This is a backend services role. We have python and Java based services. We are looking for someone that has solid talent in Python. Some Java and AWS experience is a definite plus. The primary focus for this role is to develop new functionality for the ingestion service.
This is where we process deliveries by music labels keeping an accurate picture of the audio, art, metadata, and rights of over 150 million tracks. Help us create new services in AWS and develop the next generation of our ingestion pipeline. Work with a great team of experienced engineers to expand the data we collect and how we utilize it. We work with music; it is an interesting medium to do software development. You do not need to know the details of the DDEX XML delivery format. Just have experience processing XML and JSON structured data.
Code in Python, establishing new Rest APIs and data processing pipelines to replace our current ones.
Grow your knowledge of the DDEX standard of music delivery.
Update parsing code to utilize metadata provided in newer XML formats. Establish our data set to be the reliable and accurate source of truth for downstream services and projects.
Work on a large-scale data processing service, develop new features, organize data migrations and backfills.
