Engineering Manager - Data Platform

Spotify
London
We’re launching two brand-new teams within the Data Collection Product Area of Spotify’s Data Platform Studio, each made up of 4–5 engineers across a mix of experience levels.

Team Palico will shape the future of developer experience for data collection at Spotify. By building a unified layer of intuitive, powerful tools on top of our core platforms—Gabito for event delivery and UBI for user-behavior instrumentation—the team will empower engineers across Spotify to build with confidence and speed.

The second team, whose mission is now coming into focus, will take end-to-end ownership of Spotify’s Event Sender SDKs across Android, iOS, JavaScript, and C++—software that sits at the very edge of our ecosystem and underpins how data flows from every Spotify client. Together, these teams offer a rare chance to build foundational systems from the ground up, influence technical strategy from day one, and leave a lasting mark on how Spotify understands and evolves its products through data.

What You'll Do

  • You will build and lead a team of engineers through hiring, coaching, mentoring, feedback and hands-on career development.
  • Create and maintain an opinionated Technical Strategy that aligns with the rest of the Platform Mission and Spotify.
  • Drive and be accountable for technical delivery and work with your team on strategy and execution.
  • Facilitate collaboration with other engineers and product managers in solving exciting and challenging problems across the platform.
  • Advocate and advance modern, agile software development practices and help develop and evangelize great engineering and organizational practices.
  • Grow a healthy, collaborative engineering culture in line with the things we value.
  • Be an active part of the Product Area leadership team and collaborate with other leaders in the organization.
  • Grow the technical expertise of the team.

Who You Are

  • You love developing and growing people
  • 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager; leading, managing, coaching and mentoring software developers towards delivering timely, high quality software together with them.
  • You have experience in encouraging a strong engineering culture in an agile environment.
  • Have a validated engineering background with previous experience developing large scale systems for data engineering, including processing, storage, quality and management.
  • You have experience working with a diverse set of collaborators and helping them understand the trade-offs to different product and technical decisions.
  • You care about agile software processes, data-driven development, reliability, and responsible experimentation.
  • You have experience in Platform Engineering, developing products and capabilities for internal customers..

Where You'll Be

  • This role is based in Stockholm, Sweden or 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.
