Job Description

Team: Platform

What if the systems you built changed how millions of developers work — not just at Spotify, but across the industry?You’ll join the AI Fleet Management team within Platform Developer Experience. We’re building the next generation of fleet management — evolving what we’ve proven internally into a scalable experience that ships externally through Portal, Spotify’s developer platform built on Backstage.

Our platform enables engineering teams to execute safe, automated, fleet-wide changes across thousands of repositories and environments. From mature platform engineering organizations to teams investing in developer experience for the first time, we’re delivering tooling that improves reliability, automation, and developer satisfaction at scale.

If you’re excited about building systems that directly improve how developers ship and maintain software, this is your opportunity to have meaningful impact while growing your skills.

What You'll Do

Develop and maintain backend features using Java, Python, and Node.js with support from more senior engineers

Learn to leverage AI tools such as Claude Code and the Agent SDK to improve development workflows

Contribute to the reliability and maintainability of services owned by your team

Participate in operational support for team-owned services, learning how to troubleshoot and resolve production issues

Collaborate with product, design, and other engineering teams to deliver thoughtful and scalable solutions

Contribute to sound engineering practices such as code reviews, testing, and continuous integration

Grow your technical skills in an environment that supports your development

Who You Are

You have experience with backend development, including coding, testing, and debugging

You are comfortable working with languages such as Java, Python, or Node.js

You understand the fundamentals of software engineering practices such as version control, automated testing, and continuous integration

You care about user experience and understand how backend systems impact end users

You are curious and eager to learn new technologies, including AI-powered development tools

You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with teammates across disciplines

Bonus points if you’ve contributed to open-source projects or built personal projects that demonstrate your interest in backend or platform engineering

Where You'll Be

This role is based in London

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.
