  • Collaborate closely with globally distributed teams to implement solutions that scale to handle millions of requests per second.
  • Utilise technologies such as Java, Scala, microservices, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Dataflow, and Spanner.
  • Participate in the operational responsibility for services, including being part of an on-call rotation for critical service at Spotify.
  • Drive automation efforts to improve system efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
  • Drive the optimization, testing, and tooling efforts to improve the quality of data and systems.
  • Contribute to a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and adopting new technologies.

    • Who You Are
  • You have at least two years professional experience working in a product-driven environment building production software.
  • You know how to write distributed, high-volume services and have strong programming skills in Java and/or Scala.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, particularly Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including services like Dataflow, GCS, BigQuery and Spanner.
