Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Architect and deliver end-to-end features for Spotify Ad Manager, the self-serve portal used by hundreds of thousands of advertisers to reach hundreds of millions of listeners. You will write production-grade Java (Spring) micro-services and TypeScript/React front-end code that scales horizontally across AWS regions, handling petabyte-level campaign data and real-time bidding events.
- • Own the full development lifecycle—from scoping Jira epics, writing design docs, and leading technical reviews, through to automated CI/CD, canary releases, and post-deploy observability. You will champion test-driven development (unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end) and ensure every pull request meets Spotify’s rigorous quality bar.
- • Collaborate daily with Product Managers, UX Designers, Data Scientists, and fellow engineers in Sydney, Stockholm, and New York to translate advertiser pain-points into elegant product solutions. You will run A/B experiments on our in-house experimentation platform, interpret results with statistical rigor, and iterate quickly to improve campaign creation flow, budget pacing, and audience targeting accuracy.
- • Design resilient, observable systems that guarantee 99.9 % uptime for critical ad-serving paths. You will implement distributed tracing, metrics dashboards, and alerting in Prometheus/Grafana, and participate in a follow-the-sun on-call rotation that treats incidents as learning opportunities.
- • Modernize legacy code and uplift engineering standards across the Ads Platform. You will lead brown-bag sessions on GraphQL schema design, mentor junior engineers through pair programming, and drive adoption of Spotify’s golden paths for service templates, security scanning, and dependency management.
- • Influence multi-year technical strategy by presenting architectural proposals to senior leadership. Your work will directly impact Spotify’s advertising revenue, creator monetization, and the listener experience by ensuring ads remain relevant, respectful, and seamlessly integrated into music and podcast streams.
- • Embrace Spotify’s culture of continuous improvement. You will challenge existing processes, experiment with new technologies (e.g., Kotlin, Next.js, or WebAssembly), and share findings in guild meetings and internal tech blogs, helping the entire Ads R&D organization stay at the forefront of ad-tech innovation.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping production systems in Java and TypeScript, including deep knowledge of Spring Boot, React, and REST/gRPC/GraphQL API design.
- • Proven track record of owning features end-to-end—from technical design and code reviews to deployment, monitoring, and post-launch iteration in a high-scale, cloud-native environment.
- • Strong grasp of software quality practices: automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), continuous integration/delivery, and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
- • Experience working directly with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions that move adoption, revenue, and user happiness metrics.
- • Nice-to-have: proficiency in SQL, hands-on experience with experimentation platforms or A/B testing frameworks, and familiarity with ad-tech or large-scale distributed systems.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Work-from-anywhere flexibility within Australia (Sydney or Melbourne hubs) with minimal in-office requirements and full remote options.
- • Competitive salary plus equity (RSUs) in Spotify, the world’s leading audio streaming subscription service.
- • Generous learning budget, annual wellness allowance, and global internal mobility programs to support your personal and professional growth.
- • Inclusive parental leave, mental-health days, and comprehensive health coverage for you and your family.
