Job Description

Native Ads builds promotional tools that artists and their teams use to grow their fanbases on Spotify. We sell products like Marquee and Showcase via Spotify for Artists, helping artists reach listeners across the Spotify consumer app. Behind these formats is a sophisticated ecosystem of forecasting, targeting, supply optimization, and campaign delivery infrastructure that powers millions of promotional campaigns.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer II with strong data engineering skills to join the OptiMyst squad within the Native Ads Performance pillar. OptiMyst's mission is to maximize delivered revenue by understanding, optimizing, and generating predictive insights about our supply of listeners; enabling us to meet customer demand and performance goals.

Our squad sits at the intersection of backend systems and data-intensive ML infrastructure. We build the forecasting models that predict campaign outcomes (reach, clicks, listener conversions), the supply allocation systems that determine how impressions are distributed across campaigns, and the pacing algorithms that optimize delivery in real time. Your work will directly shape how thousands of campaigns perform and how artists invest in growing their audiences.
