Description
The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. As a member of the Platform Infrastructure team within the Backstage Product Area, you will design, build, and operate multi-cloud foundations across GCP and AWS, owning platform components end-to-end with a strong bar for reliability and security. You will also improve developer tooling and platform self-service capabilities, build secure-by-default infrastructure patterns, drive operational excellence through incident management and automation, collaborate across Platform and R&D to improve developer productivity, contribute to Backstage and Portal, and mentor engineers and raise engineering quality.
You will join a team of experienced engineers (both human and AI-assisted) while operating at real-world scale, with deep observability, strong safety boundaries, and the unique reliability challenges of agentic production systems. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from building new features to improving existing ones, and will be encouraged to take ownership of outcomes and drive impact.
We are looking for someone with 5+ years of backend or infrastructure engineering experience, deep experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS), Terraform, and Kubernetes, proficiency in a modern programming language, strong experience with CI/CD and developer platforms, and the ability to think in distributed systems and understand trade-offs. You should also be familiar with AI/LLM systems and their application to infrastructure, communicate clearly and navigate complex trade-offs, and foster inclusive, collaborative environments.
