About the role

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.   Starfleet sits at the heart of Spotify’s developer experience evolution. We build and operate critical internal platforms like Fleetshift — the engine powering large-scale automated code refactoring across Spotify — and Production Policy Enforcer, which secures and streamlines our production fleet. Now, we’re leading one of the most transformative shifts in Spotify’s engineering culture: migrating from a polyrepo ecosystem to a unified monorepo model.   This is not just a tooling migration. It’s a rethinking of how thousands of engineers build, test, and ship software every day. As part of Starfleet, you’ll help shape the foundation of Spotify’s engineering future.
