Overview
What should Spotify’s role be in the live space? We are tackling these questions and more.
In the Synth squad, we are looking for a thoughtful, well-rounded Backend Engineer, ideally with some knowledge of data engineering at Spotify to join our team to build our Live Events catalog systems: that's the systems behind surfaces like the live events feed (open.spotify.com/concerts).
What You'll Do
- Evolve and scale Spotify's backend and data pipeline systems for live event ingestion and distribution
- Ensure that our customers’ experiences are the very best they can be
- These customers include not only Spotify users who discover concerts through our platform, but also our internal teams who liaise with artists
- Lead engineering efforts of multi-phase, cross-squad projects for the Bet, by facilitating conversations, sequencing work, and assisting other engineers
- Take operational responsibility for the services that are owned by the team, including taking part in an on-call rotation
Who You Are
- You are experienced with backend engineering at Spotify (i.e. Apollo/Java 8+), and have an intermediate to advanced understanding of distributed, high-volume services, JVM concepts and architecture patterns
- You have experience working within distributed systems and have designed highly-scalable systems across various projects
- You are comfortable with relational databases and working with big data using SQL and data analytics platforms such as BigQuery
- You care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code
- You have experience working with data engineering pipelines in Scala and/or Python
- You have a drive to continuously improve team processes
Where You'll Be
- This role will ideally be located in the UK, Sweden or potentially one of our other EMEA locations excluding Germany and France due to on call restrictions
