Senior Fullstack Engineer – Internationalisation Platform
The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. Spanning many disciplines, we work to make the business work; creating the infrastructure, tooling, frameworks, and capabilities needed to welcome a billion customers.
Within Platform, the Internationalisation team makes Spotify feel local everywhere. We build the systems, tools, and frameworks that power language support, localization workflows, cultural adaptation, and global feature rollouts across more than 180 markets. Our work ensures that when Spotify launches something new, it resonates just as well in São Paulo as it does in Stockholm.
We’re looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer who cares deeply about building scalable systems and seamless user experiences — and who understands that great internationalisation is both a technical and cultural challenge.

Improve developer experience by creating intuitive tooling, documentation, and self-serve frameworks
Drive technical direction for complex cross-platform initiatives that impact millions of users worldwide
Identify performance, scalability, and reliability improvements in systems supporting global expansion
Contribute to a culture of technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning
Who You Are
You have 5+ years of experience building and shipping production-grade software as a fullstack engineer
You are experienced with modern frontend frameworks (such as React) and backend development (such as Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, or similar technologies)
You have a deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and scalable service architecture
You know how to design systems with global scale, localization, and performance in mind
You care about developer experience and building tools that empower other engineers
You have worked in cross-functional environments and communicate complex ideas clearly
You demonstrate strong technical judgment and take ownership of outcomes
You care about building inclusive products that serve users across languages, regions, and cultures
