LondonRemoteFull-time

AI Summary

Senior Full Stack Engineer focused on building the Audiobooks platform with end-to-end work across React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend services; leverages AI-assisted development and mentors teammates.

About this role

Spotify for Authors (SFA) is the creator platform for the audiobook industry — a web application that gives publishers, authors, and narrators tools to manage their catalog, track performance, and distribute content on Spotify. We're scaling toward 100,000 users across a React/TypeScript frontend, Java backend services, and data pipelines that feed into Spotify's broader audiobook ecosystem.

SFA connects to Spotify's highest-priority bets: expanding audiobook access, building content creation tools, and shaping discovery surfaces. We operate with a "short toes" philosophy — contribution has no borders, quality is shared, and we use modern tools (including AI) to reduce toil and amplify creativity.

What You'll Do

  • Backend focused experience with hands-on frontend experience.

  • Build and evolve features end-to-end across a React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend services that power the SFA platform at scale

  • Use AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow for code generation, automated testing, and AI-powered code review

  • Help your squad build effective AI-assisted practices

  • Solve scalability, reliability, and performance challenges as SFA grows toward 100K users

  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to ship impactful experiences for audiobook creators

  • Author and collaborate on technical RFCs to document approaches and architectural trade-offs

  • Contribute to technical direction and help shape how we build within the SFA product area

  • Support and grow the team through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and thoughtful communication

    • Who You Are

  • You have strong experience building web applications across the stack. Typescript and Java knowledge preferred.

  • T-shaped: deep in your specialty, intensely curious about the rest.

  • You think product-first while building tech solutions

  • You're comfortable designing and operating distributed systems and microservices architectures

  • You actively use AI tools (agents, code assistants, AI-powered reviews, generative prototyping) in your daily work

  • You break ambiguous problems into clear, executable milestones and bias toward shipping

  • You're comfortable with modern infrastructure practices (CI/CD, containers, cloud platforms) and care about observability

  • You have excellent communication skills and default to over-communication in a distributed team

    • Where You'll Be

  • Distributed workforce, EU region. We collaborate across European and Eastern US time zones
