About The Position
The Subscriptions Mission builds and scales the products, platforms, and business models that convert free listeners into lifelong Premium subscribers. We focus on driving acquisition, optimizing conversion, improving retention, and delivering seamless commerce experiences that fuel Spotify’s growth and bring fans closer to the creators they love. Spotify's messaging platform reaches over 1.4 billion users and delivers tens of billions of messages across email, push, and in-app channels. Beacon is the team behind Quicksilver, the internal platform operators use to create, localize, target, and launch those messages. We're looking for a Senior Engineer to help us build intuitive, reliable tools that power how Spotify communicates with listeners at scale.

- Understanding of state management, GraphQL and Apollo, component-scoped styling, and reusable component-library design.
- Experience building tools or platforms for internal users and care about creating intuitive, reliable operator experiences.
- Comfortable working across frontend and backend systems, including reading or modifying Java services and working with API contracts such as gRPC, Protobuf, or REST.
- Ability to work with Scala/Python when pipelines or APIs need attention and navigate cloud infrastructure and data tools such as GCP, GKE, BigQuery, or GCS.
- Ability to make thoughtful decisions about technical debt and clearly communicate the tradeoffs between maintaining, improving, and migrating systems.
- Experience working across shared codebases and understanding the collaboration needed when teams depend on common components and services.

- Work across the stack when needed, including debugging Java and Apollo services, evolving gRPC, Protobuf, and REST API contracts, tracing data through BigQuery, and improving pipeline output.
