Data Engineer - Premium Analytics bei Spotify

We’re looking for an experienced Data Engineer with a strong data/ETL backbone to help shape the core datasets that power how we understand our business. You’ll join a tight‑knit crew of analytics/data engineers, building robust, scalable pipelines and data models within a very large data ecosystem. You’ll collaborate with data producers and consumers company‑wide and co‑own the technical architecture and roadmap of our data platform. We lean heavily on Scio (the Scala API for Apache Beam), BigQuery and dbt to solve big, complex data problems across domains—and you’ll be at the center of it.

What You’ll Do

[REMOVE THIS AND PASTE OVER WITH Bulleted Content: Present the overall objectives and key responsibilities in bullets. Be short but sweet and remember the “write like you were talking” rule, especially in the first bullet. Try to keep the number of bullets down, focus on the essentials and don’t include your complete “would be nice to have”-list. Put yourself in the candidate’s shoes and try to make the descriptions enticing.]

Evolve the end‑to‑end technical architecture of our data platform—driving decisions on modeling, orchestration, reliability, and cost.

Design new, trustworthy datasets from a complex upstream ecosystem—partnering closely with other data/analytics engineers and data scientists to define clear contracts and representations.

Raise the bar on engineering practices: CI/CD, automated testing, data quality checks, optimization, observability, documentation, and discoverability.

Mentor teammates—sharing context, actively reviewing code and designs, and helping the team grow its technical depth.

Who You Are

3+ years of hands‑on data, insight, or analytics engineering experience, with proficiency in Scala or Java.

Comfortable working in cross‑functional teams with Data Engineers and Data Scientists.

Practical experience with hands-on data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Beam or MapReduce).

Strong SQL fundamentals and experience with cloud data warehouses—ideally BigQuery—for data validation, exploration, and distribution to analytics teams.
