About the role

Senior Staff Engineer responsible for advancing how Spotify's Platform & Partner Experience systems power partner experiences at scale, across devices and integrations, collaborating with platform, infrastructure, and product teams, and shaping AI-enabled development workflows.

Responsibilities

  • 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

Qualifications

  • Deep experience designing, building and operating distributed systems that serve users at scale
  • Strong track record of technical leadership — influencing and shaping architecture decisions across teams, and driving organizational change in how software gets built
  • Ability to thrive in complex, ambiguous problem spaces and identify where technical investment will create the greatest leverage across teams and systems
  • Care for reliable, high-quality user experiences powered by data and personalization
  • Active exploration of how AI reshapes how we build, not just what we build, and ability to turn emerging capabilities into practical improvements in how teams work
  • Thoughtful, collaborative, inclusive mindset and positive contribution to team culture
