On the Tunesday squad, our mission is simple! When a user is looking for new music, we help them find the right content at the right time. Every week, hundreds of millions of people discover new artists and tracks through the experiences we build - Discover Weekly, Smart Shuffle, Playlist Extender, and This Is Artist. We are a team of backend & data engineers, data scientists & product experts but most of all, we are passionate about music!

As a Backend Engineer on Tunesday, you will own and evolve the systems behind some of Spotify's most-loved playlist experiences. Your work will range from low-latency gRPC services handling real-time recommendation requests, to large-scale daily batch pipelines that process hundreds of millions of user signals to surface the right tracks. You will work closely with data scientists and product managers to bring new recommendation ideas to production and you will help define the engineering bar for how we build and evaluate those experiences.
