Job Description:

The Experience Mission designs Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touch points —from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify. Meadow sits within the CoreX studio and builds the backend services powering entity pages in the Spotify mobile app—such as artist, album, playlist, and other foundational surfaces. You’ll join a collaborative team of backend and client engineers working closely with partners across Studios to shape and scale the future of Spotify’s listening experience for millions of users worldwide.

Job Responsibility:

Design, build, and operate backend services that are reliable, low-latency, and ready to scale globally
Partner with engineers and product teams across Spotify to design APIs and data flows that power user-facing experiences
Take ownership of your services end-to-end, including operations and on-call participation
Evolve our architecture to support new features, performance improvements, and long-term technical health
Use experimentation and data to drive decisions and improve feature quality
Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and continuous improvement practices
Learn, grow, and contribute to Spotify’s engineering culture through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and curiosity

Requirements:

You know how to build and maintain backend services, ideally using Java or a similar language
You have an understanding of data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems concepts
You care about reliability, testing, observability, and continuous delivery
You are familiar with tools commonly used at scale, such as Git, BigQuery, Grafana, JUnit, and PagerDuty
You are comfortable using AI tools to improve developer workflows and boost productivity
You are curious, proactive, and eager to learn new approaches and technologies
You enjoy collaborating with others and shaping both systems and ways of working
You have experience exploring or applying GenAI to improve developer experience or engineering efficiency
You are excited about building backend services that power user-facing experiences at massive scale
