Backend Engineer - Platform Developer Experience - job 1 of 2

Do you love being in the flow as a developer and want to enable that for everyone else as well? Do you believe that the key to personal flow is in making the local developer build experience fast, well-integrated, automated and with meaningful insights? We are seeking a collaborative and curious Engineer to help drive and develop our CI infrastructure forward.


Continuous Integration (CI) is the heartbeat of the developer experience. Spotify's extensive growth serving 1 Billion customers has led to us closing in on operational limits, and we hence need to improve our stack and automate workflows in order to continue providing our engineering teams with flawless builds, insights, and fast iteration times. This role will be part of a team collaboratively creating and owning the CI infrastructure for Spotify which aims to provide our developers with a streamlined, simple to use and safe build experience at scale. This will also include operationally being responsible for the systems and collaborating seamlessly with our partner CI vendors and cloud providers.


The role is located in the Platform Developer Experience (PDX) Studio within the Platform Mission. PDX oversees and owns the infrastructure that cuts across all engineering disciplines at Spotify. 


What You'll Do

  • Architect, design, develop, deploy and operate services and systems that provide the best developer experience possible
  • Collaborate with Infrastructure teams across the company to discover what an outstanding CI infrastructure means
  • Drive the automation and improvements of our chosen CI across our current technical stacks
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring of engineering staff to ensure internal growth
  • Help scale our CI infrastructure to support our automated systems making mass changes across our fleet of services
  • Deliver testable, maintainable and high-quality code and take operational responsibility for the components that you develop


Who You Are
  • You are an experienced Software Engineer with Java, familiarity with NodeJS, Python, shell scripting and go would be a bonus
  • You have experience deploying to and implementing solutions in Kubernetes
  • You believe in iteration and know that finding the right solution is more important than the first
  • You like to focus on standardization and automation; always looking for ways to improve the developer experience
  • You have 4+ years of experience in building and implementing large-scale systems across various projects and teams
  • You have familiarity with and enthusiasm for software engineering best practices such as testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery


Where You'll Be
  • This role is based in London
  • 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
