Are you an engineer who enjoys building reliable systems and intuitive user experiences? Join Spotify’s Commerce Platform and help shape the Checkout experience for millions of users worldwide. You’ll contribute across the stack, grow your technical depth, and work on systems that directly support how users manage their relationship with Spotify.
You’ll be part of the Checkout Domain, where we build and scale the purchase experience, from the moment a user selects an offer to what happens after they complete a transaction. Our teams work on services and surfaces that support billing, account updates, and post-purchase interactions that focus on building trust and retention. The work spans APIs, backend services, and user-facing components across web and mobile.
This is a great opportunity to join a collaborative, product-focused team working in a space with real user impact and cross-functional reach.

- Contribute to technical discussions and help shape platform decisions
Who You Are
