📋 Description

• Architect, develop, and operate Java services that power real-time ad auction and ranking decisions at massive scale. • Build and maintain the services that conduct scoring, filtering, and selecting winning ads across slot types, formats, and multiple demand sources. • Design and evolve auction mechanics including second-price logic, floor price enforcement, bid shading, and guaranteed delivery prioritization. • Be a technical leader and valued contributor in an autonomous, cross-functional agile team. • Collaborate with other engineers, product owners, and data scientists to identify and solve challenging problems.

🎯 Requirements

• You have 4+ years of working experience as a Backend Engineer. • You have worked with Java, and ideally Scala. • You have experience building low-latency, high-throughput systems where milliseconds matter — ad serving, real-time bidding, auction systems, or similar domains are a plus. • You have written distributed, high-volume services and know how to deploy and keep them running in production. • You love working in an environment where you constantly experiment and iterate quickly. • You believe data is the most powerful tool for informed decision-making. • You have a deep understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms. • You care about quality and you know what it means to ship high quality code.

🏖️ Benefits

• Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. • We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need.
