Junior Backend Engineer - Subscriptions

We are a team working on driving free-to-paid conversion through our ownership of pages such as spotify.com/premium and equivalents on Android and iOS. Our surfaces are available to users globally and showcase the differences and benefits between using the free and paid versions of the products, as well as giving users the different options of plans. Beyond that, we cater to the market differences in terms of how we best explain the value proposition of the Spotify subscription, taking into account relevant policies, device differences and legal requirements that apply. Furthermore, we are working on making the experience more relevant to the user through different layers of personalization.

As the owner of central surfaces in the user-journey we often are involved in cross-team work, critical company goals and product launches. We are very fast-paced and have a culture of helping teams that we work with with what they need. As a team we have a good mix of investigation and implementation work and a lot of opportunities to lead initiatives of all sorts of sizes and complexity, as well as learning from other disciplines as a very diverse team

What You'll Do

• Work with an outstanding team of engineers on our conversion surfaces to drive growth and success for the wider company
• Work with squads across the Subscriptions mission and beyond on merchandising an increasingly complex product portfolio with complex regional and device requirements
• Ensure timely delivery of technical solutions to address business needs
• Collaborate with key internal partners and stakeholders to determine how to scalably design backend systems and APls
  
  

Who You Are
