Job description
Are you a highly skilled Backend Engineer looking to make a significant impact on a global scale? Join Spotify's Commerce Platform and help us build the next generation of our robust, high-performing, and resilient commerce ecosystem. This is an exceptional opportunity to tackle complex challenges, shape our technology stack, and contribute to the core of Spotify's revenue-generating systems.

As part of Spotify's Commerce Platform, we own the critical backend services and extensive datasets that power end-to-end merchandising, sophisticated order management, seamless payment orchestration, and intuitive purchase flows for millions of users worldwide. Your expertise will be instrumental in evolving our technology stack, driving innovation, and directly impacting Spotify's business growth.

What You'll Do

    • Architect and implement highly scalable backend systems and robust data pipelines from concept to deployment, ensuring the right capabilities are delivered within Spotify’s internal commerce platform
    • Lead the design and development of critical features in our Java and Python backend services, contributing to a high-volume, low-latency environment
    • Design, build, and optimize data pipelines, ensuring efficient and reliable data processing for our commerce insights and operational needs
    • Drive operational excellence by championing best practices in monitoring, alerting, and incident response for our production systems
    • Collaborate closely with talented engineers, product managers, and cross-functional teams across Spotify to deliver impactful solutions for our users
    • This role has on-call rotation

Who You Are

    • 5+ years of working experience in a similar role
    • Experienced building and scaling Java and/or Python backend services within a large-scale, cloud-native environment (e.g., Google Cloud Platform or equivalent)
    • Experience of building and maintaining data pipelines
    • Knowledge and practical experience with scalable database technologies like PostgreSQL
    • Excellent problem-solving skills with a strong bias for action and a pragmatic approach to engineering challenges
    • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, comfortable driving technical discussions, presenting complex ideas, and working effectively with diverse stakeholders
    • A self-driven, proactive engineer who thrives in a collaborative team environment and is committed to continuous improvement through feedback and shared learning
    • Experience in e-commerce, financial engineering, or high-volume transaction processing domains is a bonus

Where You'll Be

    • This role is based in London, United Kingdom
    • 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. We ask that you come in 3 times a week.
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.
