Job description

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to join Spotify's Core Infrastructure studio.

You will be responsible for driving the product strategy for Declarative Infrastructure, our platform for automating the provisioning and management of cloud resources. By treating infrastructure as code, you will empower hundreds of engineering teams at Spotify to build, innovate, and scale their services with the same best practices they use for software development—like version control, code reviews, and automated validation.

This is a critical role that will shape the future of Spotify's engineering platform, directly impacting developer productivity and our ability to operate reliably at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Declarative Infrastructure at Spotify, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of our engineering teams.
• Deeply understand the developer experience and the challenges engineers face when managing cloud resources, and translate those insights into impactful product improvements.
• Define and analyze metrics that measure the success and adoption of the platform, using data to inform your product decisions and investment priorities.
• Collaborate closely with the engineering manager and engineers on the squad, as well as with key stakeholders.
• Serve as a "developer evangelist" for Declarative Infrastructure, championing its benefits and guiding teams on best practices for managing their infrastructure as code.
• Stay current with industry trends and technology developments in the cloud native ecosystem (e.g., Kubernetes, CNCF, Infrastructure as Code) to evolve our platform.

Who You Are

• You have a strong technical background and are comfortable engaging in in-depth discussions about complex systems. Experience as a software engineer, especially in the infrastructure or platform space, is a major plus.
• You are passionate about building outstanding developer experiences and understand what a great internal platform looks like.
• You have experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, and/or Kubernetes.
• You are an excellent communicator who can articulate a compelling vision and bring complex ideas to a wide range of audiences, from engineers to senior leadership.
• You are a curious, go-getter who inspires change, adapts quickly, and enjoys a dynamic and constantly evolving technical environment.

Where You’ll Be

• This role is based in Stockholm, or 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.
