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.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.
