Senior Software Engineer

About Acast

Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen—across any podcast app or listening platform.

About The Role

We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with full-stack capabilities, someone who’s passionate about building intuitive, high-quality user experiences on the frontend, and who can also architect and support the backend infrastructure required to deliver those experiences reliably at global scale.

The Creator Hub is Acast’s central content management system, built for creators to manage every aspect of their shows. It enables audio uploads, which are then automatically encoded and transcribed. The hub also captures all essential show and episode data, such as ad marker placements, thumbnails, and audio length, making it the single source of truth for our content. Beyond content, it stores creator profile data for use across the Acast platform. As the backbone of our internal operations, the Creator Hub powers data synchronization and notifications across systems. It's a critical part of how Acast functions today and plays a vital role in our future roadmap.

You will work in an autonomous, purpose driven team and take an important role in shipping new features while continuously increasing efficiency, stability and scalability of the systems. You are expected to contribute to software development within your team but we also expect everyone to understand and contribute to other areas of the product development. You will be working in a multi-disciplinary environment with agile principles.

We run our infrastructure and systems on AWS. The systems are written in Node.js and Typescript and you are expected to work with and be interested in that. We support our own systems and infrastructure in production.

Who You Are

• You have experience with Node.js & Typescript
• You have experience with React
• You have experience building delightful end user facing applications and the backend infrastructure to support them
• You have experience in working with AWS or similar
• You have a pragmatic mindset and can make trade-offs on what to optimise for and when to ship
• You are keen to mentor others in the technical aspects you are already an expert in and you value working in a diverse team with developers of all experience and backgrounds. You value other people’s input no matter their experience level.

Where you will be

• Most of our teams are hybrids with some members co-located in offices and some working remotely. With a remote first way of working we want you to feel productive regardless of work location!
• For this role we’re hiring within Sweden, and therefore applicants will need the right to work in Sweden.
• We want to avoid teams distributed over time-zones, so this team will operate within the CET time zone for collaboration. This setup allows us for more flexibility and work-life balance.

Culture

Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different.

Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome.

We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling and nurturing culture.

We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
