Job description

from Spotify careers

Delivering the best Spotify experience possible. To as many people as possible. In as many moments as possible. That’s what the Experience Mission is all about. We use our deep understanding of consumer expectations to enrich the lives of millions of users around the world, bringing the music, audio, and video they love to the devices, apps, and platforms they use every day.

The Content Platform team powers the full lifecycle of content across music, podcasts, audiobooks, and emerging formats. We make sure that everything—from licensed tracks to creator submissions and user-generated content—is delivered in a way that’s trusted, safe, and high quality at global scale. Our work sits at the heart of Spotify’s ecosystem, shaping how content is ingested, understood, governed, and distributed.

We’re seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on delivering content across Spotify’s ecosystem—ensuring that metadata and media flow efficiently and reliably from a wide range of internal systems to our apps and partner platforms. This work underpins every play, recommendation, and interaction, requiring systems that are scalable, observable, and resilient.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and grow a team of engineers building large-scale systems that power how content is delivered across Spotify

  • Set technical direction and guide the evolution of backend systems responsible for content distribution
