Responsibilities

  • Set and communicate engineering strategy across the studio, ensuring teams have clear technical direction aligned with IT’s mandate and Spotify’s business needs.

  • Establish and evolve engineering best practices across the studio, helping teams share knowledge and consistently improve how we build and operate technology.

  • Shape how AI is used across the company, both through the tools our squads build and how our engineers work day to day.
  • Partner with studio and alliance leadership, procurement, legal, engineering counterparts, and teams across Spotify to make thoughtful technical investments and solve meaningful business problems.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of engineering experience and experience leading Engineering Managers across multiple teams.

  • Experience with enterprise technology such as identity and access, SaaS platforms, endpoint management, workplace technology, architecture, or related systems.
