Job Description:

We are seeking a seasoned and talented Senior Web Engineer with a strong background in web development and JavaScript to join a focused feature team of three engineers. As part of the newly formed Revenue Group Web Team (REWE), you will own the web surfaces—desktop and mobile web—that bring SoundCloud's ads and payments products to life for millions of users. Your work will support us on our mission: deliver the web infrastructure and features that fuel SoundCloud’s revenue engine. Better ad experiences keep users listening longer. Seamless checkout flows drive subscription growth. Our work directly impacts both the health of the business and the experience of every SoundCloud fan and creator.

Job Responsibility:

Build and maintain user-facing web features that support ads, subscriptions, and creator commerce
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and other web teams
Contribute to the development of new ad formats (display, video, audio pods) and ad experimentation frameworks
Develop and optimize checkout and payment flows that are secure, accessible, and conversion-driven
Participate in technical design discussions, architecture reviews, and roadmap planning
Ensure performance, scalability, and maintainability of SoundCloud’s web surfaces
Debug complex issues across systems and browsers, ensuring a consistent experience for users globally
Advocate for best practices in accessibility, testing, and front-end performance

Requirements:

4–6 years of professional experience building modern web applications
Deep knowledge of TypeScript, React, and modern web tooling (e.g., Next.js, Vite)
Ability to analyze and optimize web application performance, including identifying and addressing bottlenecks and implementing performance enhancements
Solid grasp of web performance, accessibility, and responsive design principles
Experience integrating payments, ads, or other complex third-party SDKs/APIs
A product-oriented perspective—you care about the “why,” not just the “how”
Experience with observability tools and techniques, such as logging, monitoring, and error tracking, to ensure high availability and performance
A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills

Nice to have:

Experience with experimentation or A/B testing frameworks
Familiarity with ad tech or payments systems (Recurly, Adyen, etc.)
Experience contributing to large-scale web performance or monetization projects

What we offer:

Creativity and Wellness benefit
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Generous professional development allowance
Flexible vacation and public holiday policy where you can take up to 35 days of PTO annually
16 paid weeks for all parents (birthing and non-birthing), regardless of gender, to welcome newborns, adopted, and foster children
Free German courses for all levels
Various snacks, goodies, and 2 free lunches weekly when at the office
