Android Engineer - Platform Engineering
Job Description
Client Platform is an R&D studio that empowers hundreds of client developers to work efficiently on performance and stability in the Spotify apps, ultimately enabling them to deliver an awesome experience to Spotify users.
We make this happen by providing observability and tools that collect performance and stability measurements and data, serving it to the feature squads in a clear and actionable way. We collaborate closely with our internal customers to understand needs and build a platform that fits. At times, we team up directly with feature squads to integrate our tooling and use it to identify and implement improvements directly in the app.
Right now we are working on our next generation observability platform, which will gather different observations from the clients into one view, enabling engineers to understand what is happening at any given time, to find bottlenecks and better act on bugs and regressions.
