At Spotify, our data platform powers the insights behind 600+ million Monthly Active Users and supports over 8,000 employees worldwide. Processing over 2 petabytes of data daily, it’s the backbone of our mission to bring audio to the world. Without it, the music doesn’t play.

Imagine starting your day with Spotify, eager to dive into your refreshed Daylist, only to find it’s stuck in yesterday. That’s the kind of experience we strive to prevent, and you’ll help make sure we deliver on that promise.

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Data Quality and Observability team. You’ll work on innovative tools and scalable systems that empower data practitioners and developers to collaborate effectively, ensuring reliability and accuracy across Spotify’s data platform.

So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.
