We want to enable anyone at Spotify to understand users’ identity and access patterns effectively, to form better experiences within user acquisition and retention, strengthen account security as well as improve the global Spotify product decision making. Achieving this requires a significant investment in enhancing our IAM data health and structure.

  • Design, develop, and test robust data pipelines capable of processing billions of data points, using ground breaking data processing frameworks, technologies, and platforms
  • Enhance data quality through testing, tooling, and continuous performance evaluation
  • Work with other software engineers, data scientists, and decision-makers, such as engineering and product managers, to build solutions and gain novel insights.
  • Act as the bridge between our Engineering and Insights team and work on data cataloging / management and build/maintain crucial data pipelines

    • Who You Are

  • You have a strong foundation in software engineering and are proficient in Python, Java, and SQL, which are essential for this role. Experience with Scala and familiarity with cloud solutions is a plus.
  • You have experience with JVM-based data processing frameworks such as Beam, Spark, and Flink. You understand their APIs and can debug their internals
  • You care deeply about bringing software alive in an agile way, reliability, and responsible experimentation as well as being a strong advocate for engineering best practices such as continuous integration and delivery.
  • You have a proven understanding of data modelling, data access, and data storage, caching, replication, and optimisation techniques.
  • You understand the value of collaboration within teams. You are comfortable with asynchronous communication, being able to work independently while always sharing context with your team members.
  • Experience with Backend Engineering is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes (GKE) is a plus.

    • Where You'll Be

  • This role is based in London (UK) or Stockholm (Sweden)
