## Description

Spotify's Subscriptions Mission focuses on converting listeners into lifelong subscribers by delivering seamless, valuable experiences across pricing, packaging, and customer journeys.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help us evolve our commerce technology and build reliable, scalable services. You'll join a collaborative engineering team where you'll solve meaningful technical challenges, develop your skills, and contribute to a high-performing platform.

## What You'll Do

- Design, build, and deliver backend capabilities that support Spotify's commerce platform, from solution design through to production.

- Develop and improve scalable services powering merchandising, order management, payment orchestration, and purchase experiences.

- Work with complex, high-traffic systems to improve reliability, performance, and scalability.

- Collaborate with engineers and teams across Spotify to deliver solutions that support our listeners and subscription business.

- Work with cloud infrastructure, databases, and data pipelines to build and maintain reliable backend systems.

- Contribute to technical discussions, engineering workshops, and solution reviews, sharing ideas and learning from your peers.

- Help improve engineering practices and contribute to a collaborative environment where knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement are part of everyday work.

## Who You Are

- You have experience developing and scaling backend services using Java, Python, or similar technologies in a cloud environment such as Google Cloud Platform.

- You're familiar with scalable database technologies such as PostgreSQL and understand the fundamentals of building reliable backend systems.

- You have exposure to data systems and pipelines, or you're interested in developing your expertise in this area.

- You enjoy tackling technical challenges, breaking down complex problems, and finding practical solutions.

- You communicate clearly and are comfortable sharing ideas, participating in technical discussions, and presenting your work to others.

- You're proactive, take ownership of your work, and enjoy learning new technologies and approaches.

- You value collaboration, feedback, and working with people from different technical backgrounds to achieve shared goals.

- Experience in e-commerce, payments, or financial engineering is valuable, but not essential.

## Where You'll Be

- This role is based in London or Stockholm.

- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in-person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
