We at Spotify have built the leading platform through which users experience the work of artists, and we’re passionately creating products and services that enable those artists to thrive. We understand the value we get from their work, on all levels, and our team is running and building products that show them just how much. As a member of our team, you will lead a world-class engineering practice, drive the approach with which we use data and develop backend systems to serve the needs of artists, and play an active role in shaping the new music economy.

• You will provide deep technical guidance in a number of aspects of production engineering in a scalable JVM ecosystem
• You will work with close counterparts in other disciplines as part of a cross-functional team, and nurture this culture in your team
• You will both foster innovation and drive delivery
• You will be based in New York, but travel occasionally to Stockholm and London

Who you are

• You are passionate about technology and what it can do for the creative industry
• You thrive when developing great people, not just great products
• You are an experienced leader in using modern practices and tools to process, store, and expose consumer-scale datasets and build robust backend services

We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination.
