What is a Software Engineer at Pocket FM?
As a Software Engineer at Pocket FM, you will build and scale the technology powering one of the world's fastest-growing audio entertainment platforms. The engineering team is responsible for delivering high-quality audio series, audiobooks, and podcasts to millions of daily active users globally. The work you do directly impacts user retention, content delivery latency, and the seamless creator workflow that keeps the platform's library growing.
From a product perspective, engineers at Pocket FM tackle complex challenges across the entire media lifecycle. This includes optimizing audio streaming protocols, building robust recommendation engines, designing low-latency content distribution strategies, and developing highly accessible user interfaces. Whether you are working on the backend scaling of APIs using Python and Django, or building custom media players with rich interactive controls, your contributions will directly shape how users consume audio content.
The engineering culture is fast-paced, demanding high ownership and a strong bias for action. Because the platform operates at massive scale, your code must be highly optimized, reliable, and maintainable. You will work in a cross-functional environment alongside product managers, data scientists, and content creators to turn ambitious product visions into production-ready software.
