Job description

We’re looking for a passionate engineer to join Spotify’s IT Studio, the team driving the evolution of our digital workplace. Our mission is simple: give every Spotifier the best possible user experience from the moment they open their device. Removing friction, boosting productivity, and making Spotify one of the best places to work.

As part of our AI strategy, you’ll help us harness AI to enhance company-wide platforms and support experiences. You’ll build secure AI orchestration platforms with robust governance, design self‑healing systems through AI‑driven workflows, and embed intelligent agents that empower Spotifiers with data, control, and speed. You’ll also help shape new IT platforms that supercharge self‑service and contribute to growing AI fluency across the organisation.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and mitigate risks from third‑party, AI‑enabled tools integrated into Spotify’s collaboration ecosystem.
• Design, build, and evaluate autonomous agents that detect and resolve IT issues before escalation.
• Partner with engineers, product designers, and product owners to build AI‑first experiences across the digital workplace.
• Take operational ownership of the components and services you develop.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing and internal up‑skilling in AI fluency across IT teams.

Who You Are

• Skilled in designing, building, testing, debugging, and optimizing agentic systems or workflows.
• Experienced in delivering end‑to‑end solutions, with strong understanding of software architecture across back‑end, front‑end, and the APIs that connect them.
• Proficient in Java for backend services and experienced with JavaScript/React for front‑end interfaces, enabling you to work effectively across the full stack.
• Passionate about experimentation, iteration, and continuous learning in a collaborative engineering environment.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in complex technical spaces.

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.
