Web Engineer

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 the mission to deliver the web infrastructure and features that fuel SoundCloud's revenue engine.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain user-facing web features that support ads, subscriptions, and creator commerce
• Work pragmatically within a large, established codebase, incrementally modernising legacy areas while shipping new features
• 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 optimise checkout and payment flows that are secure, accessible, and conversion-driven
• Ensure performance, scalability, and maintainability of SoundCloud's web surfaces
• Debug complex issues across systems and browsers, ensuring a consistent experience for users globally

What you'll need

• 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 analyse and optimise web application performance, including identifying and addressing bottlenecks
• 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

Nice to have
