Are you an engineer who enjoys building reliable systems and intuitive user experiences? Join Spotify’s Commerce Platform and help shape the Checkout experience for millions of users worldwide. You’ll contribute across the stack, grow your technical depth, and work on systems that directly support how users manage their relationship with Spotify.
You’ll be part of the Checkout Domain, where we build and scale the purchase experience, from the moment a user selects an offer to what happens after they complete a transaction. Our teams work on services and surfaces that support billing, account updates, and post-purchase interactions that focus on building trust and retention. The work spans APIs, backend services, and user-facing components across web and mobile.
This is a great opportunity to join a collaborative, product-focused team working in a space with real user impact and cross-functional reach.
What You'll Do
- Design, build and maintain scalable backend services (Java/Python) and be active in shaping our data pipelines that power Spotify’s internal Commerce platform
- Develop and enhance our user-facing layer and frontend SDKs (React/Typescript)
- Be an active part of creating and evolving APIs and services that connect user experiences with internal Commerce capabilities, taking into account Product requirements
- Drive improvements to system architecture, performance, and developer experience
- Collaborate closely with a talented group of engineers, product managers, designers and data specialists across multiple teams
- Contribute to technical discussions and help shape platform decisions
Who You Are
- You have experience building and maintaining backend services (Java and/or Python) in large-scale, modern cloud environments (we use GCP)
- You’re confident working across the stack, from building scalable APIs to developing intuitive, high-performing, modern frontend applications (React/TypeScript preferred)
- You have experience in system design and service-to-service integration
- You bring an open and pragmatic mindset to solving complex problems, while actively connecting the dots across technical, product, and business to inform your approach
- You care about code quality, testability, and developer experience
- You communicate clearly, take initiative on projects and collaborate effectively in cross-functional settings
- Having experience in commerce or payments systems is a plus
Where You'll Be
- This role is based in London (UK)
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home
- We ask that you come in three times per week
