Job Description

At Spotify, we are committed to empowering our teams by equipping them with groundbreaking tools that redefine productivity and efficiency.

The AiKA Backstage Plugin is revolutionizing how employees access and utilize internal knowledge, streamlining workflows, and unlocking new levels of innovation and collaboration across and beyond Spotify.

Our squad plays a vital role in enabling R&D employees to work smarter and more effectively. We build scalable tools and systems that integrate Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities into internal processes, driving collaboration and innovation not only across Spotify but also for thousands of Backstage users worldwide.

By joining us, you will have the unique opportunity to shape how employees worldwide interact with knowledge and tools, making their work more efficient, enjoyable, and future-focused.

You will work with a collaborative and diverse team to build and maintain infrastructure, features, and tools that empower Spotify employees globally. Your expertise in fullstack development, Generative AI, and developer tools will be instrumental in delivering high-quality and impactful solutions.

As with many innovative projects, your responsibilities will vary frequently. You'll work across different technologies, product domains, and teams. We seek someone passionate about thriving in this type of dynamic environment!

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, and designers to solve exciting and impactful problems, delivering value to Spotify employees and external Backstage users
• Build and maintain the AiKA Backstage Plugin, internally and externally, — our flagship knowledge assistance tool — and explore ways to incorporate Generative AI (GenAI) into Backstage workflows
• Deliver testable, maintainable, and high-quality code, and take operational responsibility for the components that you develop
• Design and maintain fullstack systems, primarily using TypeScript, Node.js, and other modern web technologies
• Contribute to technical RFCs and documentation to align approaches across the team and broader organization
• Explore creative solutions to integrate AI/ML capabilities into Spotify's developer tools
• Mentor team members, share your knowledge, and promote best practices

• You are eager to learn, experiment, and thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift.

Where You'll Be
