Music distribution and publishing platform for independent artists and labels
Symphonic operates a PHP + Laravel backend on AWS infrastructure, handling digital distribution, royalty collection, and marketing for independent musicians globally. The tech stack—anchored in Laravel with AWS serverless (Lambda, Fargate, SQS) and video encoding pipelines—suggests a platform designed for high-volume, asynchronous processing of music metadata and royalty data. Hiring is engineering-heavy (8 of 11 open roles), concentrated at senior levels, and expanding across the U.S., Colombia, and Chile, indicating active scaling of technical capacity.
Symphonic is an independent music distribution and publishing company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The platform serves independent artists and record labels across eight global regions, offering digital distribution to major DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud), royalty collection, publishing administration, synch licensing, and YouTube/SoundCloud monetization. The company operates with a technical backend supporting music video encoding, content management, campaign marketing tools, and long-running royalty processing jobs. Current and past artist base includes artists across hip-hop, reggaeton, electronic, and other genres.
Symphonic builds on PHP and Laravel with Symfony, MySQL, and AWS services including SQS, Lambda, Fargate, and CloudWatch for infrastructure. The stack supports music video encoding and delivery, feature flag deployment, and asynchronous task processing.
