The Rights Systems team builds and operates Spotify Rights Center (SRC) — Spotify’s rights management platform that enables Spotify and its partners to identify, manage, and enforce music licensing rights across all the content available on the platform.
Comparable in scope to YouTube’s Content ID, SRC is purpose-built for Spotify’s ecosystem and underpins the company’s strategy for video and emerging content types. Over the past year, the team has taken SRC from concept to a fully operational production platform, delivering automated content scanning, policy management, enforcement pipelines, appeals workflows, manual claims, and analytics capabilities.
The team has grown from a single squad to three squads (~30 bandmates) and continues to scale as a strategic investment area for Spotify over the next several years.
