Engineering Manager - Arcade Platform

Description

We are now looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager, preferably with experience of frontend/fullstack development and a user-centered agile development approach. The team owns the contract configuration domain and is transitioning from owning many frontends across our internal UI suite within the Payout area to building a platform that supports other financial product teams in building their own interfaces.

You will evolve and further develop an empowered engineering team, and work in close partnership with the squad’s Product Manager and directly with our stakeholders to enable Spotify’s business model and to help creators around the world to make their living.

This is a highly visible and rewarding role with the potential to make a positive impact in an area directly involved in some of Spotify's top company initiatives. We are building systems to address problems that are unsolved in the industry. Our partners in Accounting, Legal & Licensing and Creator Marketplace all rely on us delivering something extra.

What You'll Do

Actively foster a healthy team. Coach, mentor and provide career development guidance.

Be an active partner to your product and engineering peers as part of an effective thought leadership team for the product area

Who You Are

You preferably have enterprise process domain knowledge and have engaged with quality and compliance standards such as SOX and ITGC.

Solid experience of working in an agile development environment where lines of responsibilities are sometimes blurry.
