We design Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.
We’re building one of Spotify’s most social and engaging experiences: Jam. Jam brings people together through music, enabling friends and groups to listen in real time, wherever they are. It transforms listening from a solo activity into a shared experience and plays an important role in how Spotify connects users through audio.

You’ll join a cross-functional team working across mobile, backend, and platform technologies to shape how millions of people experience music together.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, support, and grow a team of engineers across iOS, Android, backend, and cross-platform technologies

  • Drive delivery of features that power real-time, shared listening experiences

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to shape vision, strategy, and roadmaps

  • Guide the team through complex technical challenges such as real-time synchronization, device connectivity, and cross-platform consistency

  • Enable high-quality, reliable user experiences across devices and platforms

  • Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and strong engineering practices

  • Create an inclusive and healthy team environment where individuals can grow and do their best work

Who You Are

  • You have experience leading and developing engineering teams, including hiring, coaching, and performance management

  • You are experienced with building and scaling complex systems, ideally in real-time or distributed environments

  • You have a strong understanding of software engineering across mobile and backend technologies

  • You care about building inclusive, collaborative teams and creating a positive team environment

  • You are comfortable working across disciplines and influencing product and technical direction

  • You balance execution with long-term thinking and make thoughtful, pragmatic decisions

  • You have experience solving challenges related to synchronization, connectivity, or cross-platform development

Where You'll Be

  • This role is based in London or Stockholm

  • 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.
