[Hiring] Software Engineer @Fox Corporation

Role 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.

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.
