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

What we offer

  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best
  • There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home
  • Spotify is an equal opportunity employer
  • You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones
  • Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace
  • The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking
  • So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background
  • It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens
  • At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure our entire recruitment process is accessible to everyone
  • We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need
  • If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know – we’re here to support you in any way we can
