DistroKid is the world’s largest distributor of music to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and beyond. Most new music today is released through DistroKid.
As an API Engineer at DistroKid, you will be instrumental in building and scaling the API infrastructure that powers our integrations, partnerships, and emerging AI capabilities. You will own the design, development, and evolution of APIs that connect millions of musicians to streaming platforms, third-party services, and cutting-edge AI tools.
In this role, you will establish API standards and patterns across our ecosystem, including mobile applications, partnership integrations, telemetry infrastructure, and emerging AI/LLM integrations. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design robust, scalable APIs that assist both internal development and external partnerships.
