Senior Engineer

Om jobbet

As a Senior Engineer in the Smooth Operator squad, you will drive end-to-end delivery of scalable, reusable systems that power Spotify's content and catalog operations. You'll put your T-shaped skill set to work across the stack - building intuitive internal tools, implementing robust backend workflows, and shaping platform capabilities that advance moderation, IP protection, and catalog quality. Your work directly supports Spotify's mission to ensure a safe, high-quality content ecosystem for creators, partners, and listeners.

What You'll Do

Build Operational Tooling:

Design, implement, and iterate on internal user interfaces and content-management tools that improve visibility, streamline review workflows, and support compliance and provider self-service.

Deliver Robust Backend Workflow Execution:

Develop reliable, auditable orchestration of complex content actions-such as takedowns, geoblocking, relocations, and metadata adjustments-across multiple backend systems and services.

Integrate Across Domains:

Consolidate actioning logic, evolve shared workflows, and enable moderation and review support for emerging content types by integrating with existing platforms and backend systems.

Drive Technical Quality:

Champion engineering best practices, uphold system reliability and performance standards, and contribute to architectural decision-making across the squad.

Collaborate and Influence:

Partner closely with product, design, data science, legal, and operations to define requirements, shape roadmaps, and deliver solutions that meaningfully improve content operations at scale.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer building and maintaining production systems.

Experienced in designing and developing backend applications in Java. Deep proficiency in React, and TypeScript and are passionate about delivering end-to-end experiences and software architecture across the front-end, back-end, and the APIs that glue them together

You are fluent with modern cloud/platform tooling (preferably GCP: GKE, Pub/Sub, managed storage)

Strong system-design, problem-solving, and debugging skills, with an ability to navigate ambiguity and break down complex problems.

Effective communication, collaboration, and cross-functional partnership skills.

Experience in content moderation, operational tooling, or trust and safety systems is a plus.
