Director of Engineering - Content Platform (Catalog)

About this role

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.
