You will work with teammates to build and support design systems and a scalable architecture for web applications to support Spotify’s self-serve advertising platform, Ad Studio.

- Monitor, test, and continuously optimize your designs
- Ensure that our user experience is the very best it can be
- Share knowledge, promote best practices, and collaborate with some of the best web engineers in the company
- Be an impactful contributor to the team to plan, design, and build sophisticated and scalable solutions so that any person, anywhere in the world, has the ability to listen to music for free
Who You Are
- You are strong in modern JavaScript coding, testing, debugging, and automation techniques
- You should have some knowledge of semantic HTML and CSS. Ideally you’d be familiar with React and its extensive ecosystem as well as developing tooling using Node.js and TypeScript
- You have experience with continuous delivery and automated testing
- You care deeply about usability, accessibility and performance
- You are experienced working further up the web stack with systems like web servers, reverse proxies, and various caching mechanisms (Nginx, Apache, Node.js, GraphQL, Redis, memcached, Varnish, etc.)
- You understand how web clients and web servers interact with one another, and how to optimize that communication based on various use cases
- You are comfortable working in an agile environment, and are comfortable challenging yourself and your team to improve their ways of working
- You are adaptable and inventive and you are able to develop effective solutions to problems
- You are a good communicator and an empathetic, attentive listener with the capability to anticipate the needs of partners
- You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, and can communicate your ideas, especially to those not technologically proficient
- You are autonomous, taking full ownership of your work and driving your personal development
- You hold yourself and others accountable, taking responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way
- You value team success over personal success
Where You'll Be
