Senior Staff Engineer - Platform & Partner Experience
Full Job Posting
What You Will Do
- Lead the technical strategy, architecture, and development of systems that enable and enhance partner and platform experiences across devices and integrations
- Drive complex technical initiatives that span multiple studios or a full mission — particularly where coordination cost, architectural sprawl, or competing local optimizations are part of the problem
- Create leverage by unifying fragmented approaches, retiring duplicative systems, and establishing the standards and platforms that enable multiple studios move faster without reinventing foundations — judging where consolidation creates leverage and where local autonomy is the better choice
- Define and influence technical strategy across organizational boundaries and bring other senior engineers along in executing it
- Collaborate with engineering, product and design leaders across the Experience Mission and beyond to identify shared opportunities, align technical direction and reduce duplication
- Shape how AI transforms the software development lifecycle and pioneer AI-native workflows and capabilities that bridge engineering, product, and design
Who You Are
You have deep experience designing, building and operating distributed systems that serve users at scale
You have a strong track record of technical leadership — influencing and shaping architecture decisions across teams, and driving organizational change in how software gets built
You thrive in complex, ambiguous problem spaces and can identify where technical investment will create the greatest leverage across teams and systems
You care deeply about reliable, high-quality user experiences powered by data and personalization
You actively explore how AI reshapes how we build, not just what we build, and can turn emerging capabilities into practical improvements in how teams work
You bring a thoughtful, collaborative, inclusive mindset and actively contribute to a positive team culture
Where You Will Be
We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best. For this role, you can be based anywhere in EMEA where Spotify has a work location (excluding France due to on-call restrictions).
The team collaborates within Central European and GMT time zones.
