Senior Staff Engineer, Platform & Partner Experience

• Advance how Spotify's systems power partner experiences at scale, tackling complex challenges that span teams, systems, and organisational boundaries. • Sit within the Experience Mission's Platform & Partner Experience (PPX) group, shaping how Spotify shows up across devices, platforms, and partner ecosystems — from smart speakers to cars to AI agents. • Work closely with platform, infrastructure, and product teams across the company to create shared foundations, streamline architecture, and unlock new experiences for users and partners. • Be based anywhere in EMEA where Spotify has a work location (excluding France due to on-call restrictions).

• Have deep experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems that serve users at scale. • Have a strong track record of technical leadership — influencing and shaping architecture decisions across teams and driving organisational change in how software gets built. • Thrive in complex, ambiguous problem spaces and identify where technical investment will create the greatest leverage across teams and systems. • Care deeply about reliable, high-quality user experiences powered by data and personalisation. • Actively explore how AI reshapes how we build, not just what we build, and turn emerging capabilities into practical improvements in how teams work. • Bring a thoughtful, collaborative, inclusive mindset and actively contribute to a positive team culture.

• Have experience unifying fragmented technical approaches and retiring duplicative systems at scale. • Have experience pioneering AI-native workflows and capabilities that bridge engineering, product, and design. • Have experience defining and influencing technical strategy across organisational boundaries. • Have experience building foundations that power integrations across smart speakers, cars, TVs, and other partner ecosystems.

• Lead the technical strategy, architecture, and development of systems that enable and enhance partner and platform experiences across devices and integrations. • Drive complex technical initiatives that span multiple studios or a full mission, particularly where coordination cost, architectural sprawl, or competing local optimisations are part of the problem. • Create leverage by unifying fragmented approaches, retiring duplicative systems, and establishing standards and platforms that enable multiple studios to move faster without reinventing foundations. • Define and influence technical strategy across organisational boundaries and bring other senior engineers along in executing it. • Collaborate with engineering, product, and design leaders across the Experience Mission and beyond to identify shared opportunities, align technical direction, and reduce duplication. • Shape how AI transforms the software development lifecycle and pioneer AI-native workflows and capabilities that bridge engineering, product, and design.

• Work remotely from anywhere in EMEA where Spotify has a work location (excluding France). • Collaborate within Central European and GMT time zones. • Receive extensive learning opportunities through Spotify's dedicated GreenHouse team. • Receive flexible share incentives letting you choose how you share in Spotify's success. • Receive six months of global parental leave for all new parents. • Access All The Feels, the employee assistance programme and self-care hub. • Swap public holidays flexibly according to your values and beliefs.
