The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. Spanning many disciplines, we work to make the business work; creating the infrastructure, tooling, frameworks, and capabilities needed to welcome a billion customers.
What if the systems you built changed how millions of developers work — not just at Spotify, but across the industry?
You’ll join the AI Fleet Management team within Platform Developer Experience. We’re building the next generation of fleet management — evolving proven internal capabilities into a scalable experience that ships externally through Portal, Spotify’s developer platform built on Backstage.
Our platform enables engineering teams to execute safe, automated, fleet-wide changes across thousands of repositories and environments. From mature platform engineering organizations to teams investing in developer experience for the first time, we’re delivering tooling that improves reliability, automation, and developer satisfaction at scale.
If you’re excited about building systems that directly improve how developers ship and maintain software, this is your opportunity to have meaningful impact while growing your skills.
What You'll Do
Build and evolve backend services that power AI Fleet Management across Spotify and Portal’s external customersDesign scalable distributed systems that support safe, observable, and repeatable fleet-wide changesIntegrate AI-native capabilities into backend workflows using modern LLM tooling and agent-based automationDevelop services across a polyglot backend stack including Java, Python, and Node.jsTake ownership of well-scoped services end-to-end, including participating in operational support and on-call rotationCollaborate with product, design, and go-to-market partners to shape practical, customer-facing platform capabilitiesContribute to strong engineering fundamentals including automated testing, observability, reliability, and continuous deliveryHelp evolve internal and external APIs, SDKs, and platform primitives used daily by other engineers
Who You Are
You have 3+ years of experience building backend services and distributed systemsYou have strong experience in Java and Python and are comfortable working in a polyglot environment that includes Node.jsYou have experience designing and operating production systems with reliability and scalability in mindYou are comfortable taking ownership of services from implementation through production supportYou think beyond just services — you care about developer experience and how APIs, tooling, and workflows are consumedYou practice continuous delivery, automated testing, and clean engineering habitsYou communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across engineering and cross-functional teams
