TIDAL operates a music streaming service positioned around artist economics and direct fan engagement. The tech stack—PyTorch, PySpark, Databricks, AWS across iOS/Android native development—reflects a mature ML and data infrastructure layer supporting recommendation and personalization. Current hiring is minimal (7 open roles, all engineering, staff/senior level) and concentrated on semantic search, recommendation systems, and iOS architectural work, suggesting focused effort on discovery and platform stability rather than expansion.
TIDAL is a music streaming platform founded on the premise of returning value to artists. The service operates in over 60 countries and provides tools for artists to manage careers, distribute content, and connect with listeners. The company is owned by Block, Inc.
