工程总监 - 内容平台（目录）

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.

This position sits at the heart of Spotify’s Content Platform, responsible for the systems that define, structure, and govern content across the platform. Our mission is to provide a trusted, consistent source of truth so content can be reliably managed and reused across every Spotify experience. We build and operate the core systems and workflows that ensure content is accurate, complete, and available, from APIs and lifecycle orchestration through to content quality and integrity.

As Spotify’s content ecosystem continues to grow in scale and complexity across new formats, use cases, and regulatory environments, this domain plays a critical role in helping us scale intentionally while maintaining the trust and quality our users and creators expect.

We’re seeking a Director of Engineering to lead this domain, shaping its technical direction, developing teams, and evolving the systems that underpin Spotify’s global content platform.

• Guide the evolution and modernization of complex legacy systems into scalable, reliable architecture.

• Partner closely with product and cross-functional leaders to align priorities and drive execution.

• Improve system reliability and reduce operational friction in workflows that directly impact content availability.

• Identify and apply opportunities for automation and AI to improve data quality and engineering productivity.

• Build an inclusive engineering culture where teams continuously improve how they work and deliver.

• Develop and execute a long-term roadmap that balances immediate priorities with strategic investments.

Who You Are

• You have experience leading engineering organizations through other leaders and scaling teams effectively.

• You have worked on complex, data-intensive systems where accuracy, consistency, and reliability at scale are critical.

• You bring strong system design and architectural decision-making experience in distributed systems.

• You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and making thoughtful trade-offs in high-impact environments.

• You influence effectively across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

• You have experience leading distributed teams and creating alignment across locations.

• You communicate clearly and can explain complex technical topics to a range of audiences.

• You are curious about how AI and automation can improve systems and workflows and apply that thinking pragmatically.

• You care about building inclusive, collaborative environments where teams can grow and do their best work.

Where You'll Be
