Full job description

At DistroKid, we help artists share their music with the world.

Location: Remote (United Kingdom, Europe (ALL). Canada and USA: EASTERN TIME ZONES ONLY)
Sponsorship: Not available. We cannot support visas, work permits, or extensions in any country (including student visas or similar programs).
Salary: Senior to Staff level; Varies by region — see details below

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.

DistroKid is a fully remote company with an employee-first culture and excellent benefits.

What You’ll Do

Own the design and implementation of high-scale backend systems and APIs that power DistroKid’s core platform
Architect and evolve distributed systems on AWS to handle high throughput, reliability, and performance
Work across backend, infrastructure, and DevOps boundaries from API design to deployment and system operations
Design and integrate with enterprise-grade systems and external platforms to support complex, high-scale workflows
Lead technical design decisions for complex systems (data models, service boundaries, scaling strategies, failure handling)
Write production code and remain deeply hands-on in building and improving systems
Improve system observability, reliability, and performance at scale
Partner closely with product and engineering teams to translate business needs into robust technical solutions

What We’re Looking For

10+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems in production environments
Strong, recent hands-on coding experience (this is not a pure design/management role)
Deep experience with AWS (compute, storage, networking, scaling, etc.)
Proven track record designing and operating high-scale distributed systems
Strong experience with API design and system architecture in complex environments
Experience working across infrastructure and application layers (DevOps, deployment, reliability, etc.)
Experience with enterprise integration platforms (e.g., AWS API Gateway, Azure API Management, MuleSoft, Apigee, Kong, or similar) or building/operating large-scale integration layers
Ability to own systems end-to-end from architecture to implementation to production operation
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making high-impact technical decisions

What This Role Is NOT

Not a pure backend feature development role
Not a role for engineers who haven’t coded in recent years
Not a narrow specialization (e.g., only APIs or only infra)

We are specifically looking for engineers who operate at the intersection of backend systems, architecture, and infrastructure.

Why This Role

Work on real-world scale problems: high-volume ingestion, global distribution, and complex financial flows
Own and shape systems that directly impact millions of creators worldwide
High degree of technical ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to influence architecture at scale, not just contribute to it

Nice to Have

Experience with high-throughput systems, event-driven architectures, or data pipelines
Background in platform or infrastructure engineering
Experience in high-growth or scaling product environments
