Job Description - Senior Backend Engineer - Commerce Platform

Are you a highly skilled Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for Data and Machine Learning, ready to make a global impact? Join Spotify's Commerce Platform to build the next generation of our robust, high-performing, and resilient payments ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity to solve complex challenges, work with ML-powered systems, and contribute to the core of Spotify's revenue-generating systems.

As part of Spotify's Commerce Platform, we in the Pay-In domain own the critical backend services and extensive datasets that power the users’ payment journey. You will join one of the sub-teams in the Pay-In domain, which develops and maintains the systems that integrate with payment providers, manage disputes, and leverage ML for fraud detection and prevention. The reliability of these systems is business-critical for Spotify.

What You'll Do

    • Architect, design, and implement highly scalable backend services (Java/Python) and robust data pipelines that power Spotify’s internal Commerce platform.
    • Develop and enhance our ML-powered systems taking solutions from concept to production.
    • Take the lead on API design, platform development, and ensuring the scalability, reliability, and performance of our services.
    • Collaborate with a talented, cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, and data scientists to deliver impactful solutions.
    • Mentor other engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence within the team.

Who You Are

    • You have significant experience building and scaling backend services (Java and/or Python) in a large-scale, cloud-native environment like Google Cloud Platform.
    • You have hands-on experience with Machine Learning, including developing, deploying, or maintaining ML models in a production environment.
    • You have proven experience building and maintaining data pipelines to support ML and analytics use cases.
    • You possess practical knowledge of scalable database technologies, such as PostgreSQL.
    • You are a proactive, self-driven engineer with excellent problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to tackling challenges.
    • You are an exceptional communicator and collaborator, comfortable leading technical discussions and working effectively with diverse teams.
    • Previous experience in e-commerce, financial engineering, or high-volume transaction processing is a plus.

Where You'll Be

    • This role is based in London.
    • 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.
