Description
The Platform Developer Experience (PDX) studio builds the infrastructure and internal products that power how Spotify engineers ship software. Within PDX and Backstage Product Area, the Platform Infrastructure team is building the next generation of cloud and compute foundations that power our internal developer platform and the AI agents running on top of it, and help bring those capabilities to market through Portal, Spotify's external developer platform built on Backstage.
As a member of the Platform Infrastructure team, you will join a group of experienced engineers who own the cloud foundations, developer tooling, and security posture that the rest of Platform, and ultimately all of Spotify R&D, depends on. You will collaborate closely with 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.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Building and operating components of our multi-cloud foundations across GCP and AWS, including compute, storage, networking, identity, and platform primitives
- Owning components and features end-to-end: from technical design through implementation, rollout, and on-call
- Contributing to developer tooling (CI/CD, build systems, deployment, observability) so engineers ship safely and quickly
- Participating in incident management, on-call, and postmortems, using AI assistants to accelerate root cause analysis
- Collaborating across Platform and R&D to improve developer productivity
- Contributing to Backstage and Portal to simplify cloud and tooling access
- Growing through code reviews, design discussions, and collaboration with senior engineers
We are looking for individuals with 2+ years of backend or infrastructure engineering experience working on production systems. You should have experience building or operating cloud infrastructure (GCP and/or AWS), with familiarity in Terraform and Kubernetes. You should also be proficient in at least one modern language (TypeScript, Java, Go, or Python) and have experience with CI/CD, deployment systems, and observability tooling.
