In the Audiobooks Mission, we're looking for a Software Engineer II to be a founding member of a new full-stack squad. This squad will be a bit unique, as it will span a number of products and areas of expertise – helping us explore opportunities as they come up in the audiobooks space. There will be multiple technologies at play, and an expectation that everyone on the team supercharges their T-shaping (including the EM!).

The audiobooks industry is heating up as a result of our entry, and we want to keep up our momentum! Come join us and help do that.

  • You thrive working within a fast-paced, high-growth, startup-type environment
  • You have a sense of humor, have fun on the job, and embody Spotify's "playful" value

  • Where You'll Be

  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the GMT or CET time zones as long as we have a work location.
  • This role will ideally be located in the UK, Sweden, or potentially one of our other EMEA locations *excluding France for now due to on-call restrictions.
