Software Engineer
Develop and maintain backend services for a premium podcast subscription platform, leveraging Python, Node.js, and AWS to deliver scalable APIs and robust cloud infrastructure that support creators and audiences worldwide.
OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
JOB DESCRIPTION
Supercast powers premium subscriptions for the world’s top podcasts and creators. We help creators like Huberman Lab, This American Life, Peter Attia, and My Favorite Murder build direct relationships with their audiences and generate recurring revenue through exclusive content and community.
Following our recent acquisition by Red Seat Ventures (a Fox Corp. company), Supercast is entering a new phase of product investment and expansion. Building on our success with podcast subscriptions, we’re evaluating a broader toolkit for podcast-first creators, as well as new ways for creators to engage and monetize their audiences.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking to expand our team with a Software Engineer, reporting to the VP of Engineering, to help shape this next chapter. You’ll work closely with Product and Design teams to build the experiences used by thousands of creators and hundreds of thousands of paying subscribers. Your work will define how creators launch, grow, and run subscription businesses on Supercast and how fans discover and engage with the content they love.
We believe the next generation of media companies will be creator-led, and our mission is to build the operating system for creator-led media businesses.
A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Help work on customer issues and implement features across the Supercast application. You’ll be working on both the back-end and front-end of a Ruby on Rails application.
Collaborate with other departments and customers to help identify issues they’re running into and work with the development team to fix issues and build tweaks and features.
Working with your team, work on your projects through to completion by meeting adoption and success criteria, and keeping with your project until you hit them.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
You like working with customers as well as with other departments, and have some experience doing that (as a software developer or in another role)
2+ years of experience working as a software developer ideally in a startup or small team environment.
You have familiarity with Ruby on Rails - either through a bootcamp, university education, or by learning on your own. Having an example project that shows what you can do would be great!
You’re familiar with modelling data in a relational database, and know how to represent simple data structures.
If you’ve worked with Hotwire or View Components that’s a huge plus!
