SpotifySenior Data Engineer - Partner & Platform Experience
We design Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.
You’ll join a team at the heart of how Spotify shows up across devices and platforms. From desktop and TV to gaming consoles and a wide range of partner integrations, we build the experiences that make Spotify available wherever listeners are.
Within this space, our Data Engineering team creates the data foundations that power product insights, experimentation, and decision-making. We build reliable datasets and tools that help teams understand how users experience Spotify and how we can make it even better.
