Engineering Manager - Data Platform
Spotify, London
The role
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of six experienced engineers distributed across Europe. You'll set the technical direction, ensure the team delivers high-impact work, and - just as importantly - invest deeply in the growth and careers of your engineers. If you're energised by both the technical challenges of large-scale data systems and the human side of building a high-performing team, we'd love to hear from you.
What you will do
- Lead and develop a team of six experienced engineers, with a strong focus on coaching, career development, and creating an environment where people do the best work of their careers.
- Take accountability for the team's delivery, ensuring clear priorities, healthy execution, and measurable outcomes.
- Partner with product and stakeholders to shape the roadmap for event delivery and privacy infrastructure.
- Drive technical strategy and architectural decisions for systems operating at Spotify scale.
- Build a culture of ownership, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
