What you'll do
As written by Spotify · Read the original
What You Will Do
- 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 optimizations are part of the problem
- Create leverage by unifying fragmented approaches, retiring duplicative systems, and establishing the standards and platforms that enable multiple studios move faster without reinventing foundations — judging where consolidation creates leverage and where local autonomy is the better choice
- Define and influence technical strategy across organizational 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
Where You Will Be
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best. For this role, you can be based anywhere in EMEA where Spotify has a work location (excluding France due to on-call restrictions).
- The team collaborates within Central European and GMT time zones.
Requirements
Who You Are
- You have deep experience designing, building and operating distributed systems that serve users at scale
- You have a strong track record of technical leadership — influencing and shaping architecture decisions across teams, and driving organizational change in how software gets built
- You thrive in complex, ambiguous problem spaces and can identify where technical investment will create the greatest leverage across teams and systems
- You care deeply about reliable, high-quality user experiences powered by data and personalization
- You actively explore how AI reshapes how we build, not just what we build, and can turn emerging capabilities into practical improvements in how teams work
- You bring a thoughtful, collaborative, inclusive mindset and actively contribute to a positive team culture
