We need someone specialized in JavaScript/TypeScript and backend development, to help build internal tools and APIs that allow client developers to ship their features with user behaviour instrumentation. As part of this team, you will closely collaborate with our internal customers (e.g., Spotify feature developers, data consumers, insight managers, etc) to determine the best solutions to scalably meet their needs. Above all, your work will impact the way the world experiences music.

• Ensure that our APIs will have smooth integration with the current web clients – the desktop and TV app to name a few.
• Evolve our JavaScript SDK to support new features in the UBI infrastructure.
• Identify pain points in adoption and integration experience of our team’s internal tools and SDKs.
• Ensure the developer experience is seamless for all developers.
• Take part in on-call rotation to help support the product area.

Who You Are

• You have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, comfortable around backend, frontend and infrastructure.
• You have experience with modern JavaScript coding, testing, debugging, and automation techniques.
• You are proficient with JavaScript/TypeScript, React and Java.
• You are passionate about building a good developer experience by creating robust APIs on tracking user behaviour data.
• You have a quality-mindset and are interested in all parts of software development: coding, testing, deployment and monitoring.
• You care about the user experience and know how to build user-friendly web applications.
• Experience with any of the following areas: GCP, Kubernetes, GRPC, protobuf, large scale data pipelines, would be a bonus!

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.
