About the role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Subscriptions Mission. This team oversees the entire user journey on Spotify and ensures we engage with people in innovative ways, every step of the way. Our team grows Spotify’s audience by finding future listeners around the world and delivering the right value to them, at the right time. With research, product development, product design, engineering, and marketing all collaborating in one organization, we’re able to quickly create meaningful features and services for millions of people around the world, resulting in joyful, long-lasting relationships with Spotify.
As a Senior Backend Engineer you will participate in building and maintaining the systems responsible for driving user conversion, retention and upsells together with other R&D teams, Marketing and Growth. The team is uniquely positioned to play a key role in a new effort to strengthen our platform capabilities in this area to support the rapidly growing business needs of the ever-changing product portfolio.
We are moving towards a more user focused, contextual conversion, retention and upsell experience that is less manually operated, and more consistent across channels, using levers like machine learning and personalisation. We want to solve this through a platformised approach utilising new systems for decision-making on what we want users to see combined with a content management solution that can handle all the necessary complexities.
