Junior Data Engineer - Revenue Platform

Job Description

At Spotify, we're building the revenue platform that drives how revenue and taxes are processed across the company — enabling reliable, scalable financial operations across every market, product line, and partner. Our systems are essential to Spotify’s ability to earn, track, and report revenue and taxes, supporting everything from subscriptions and advertising to creator payouts.

As engineers on this team, we design and maintain the backend and data platform capabilities that power millions of transactions each day with precision. We build services that handle tax calculations, produce compliant financial records, and support regulatory requirements across global markets — all while staying agile to keep up with Spotify’s evolving business models. We equip Finance teams with flexible, configurable tools that govern how revenue and taxes are applied across products, enabling rapid adjustments without needing deep technical expertise. Our modular, process-oriented components simplify the development, maintenance, and scaling of the critical Order to Cash enterprise process that underpin Spotify’s financial operations.

What You'll Do

Gain deep expertise in Spotify’s revenue platform, understanding how it enables financial operations, compliance, and strategic decision-making.

Design and implement scalable backend and data systems that process millions of transactions daily — supporting accurate tax calculation, billing, revenue recognition, financial configuration, and tax reporting.

Build intuitive, self-serve tools that empower Finance teams to define and manage product-specific revenue and tax configuration independently, without requiring engineering involvement.

Develop and enhance modular platform capabilities that encodes critical enterprise workflows, promoting consistency, reusability, and ease of maintenance across financial systems.

Lead the creation of new platform capabilities within the Tax Solutions space, focusing on Tax Reporting and global regulatory compliance.

Partner closely with Engineers, Product and Finance stakeholders to design systems that are scalable, auditable, and highly reliable.

Champion engineering best practices, strong architectural design, and operational excellence across backend and data platforms.

Foster a collaborative team culture rooted in shared ownership, constructive feedback, and continuous improvement.

You enjoy collaborating across functions and bring clarity and alignment when working with engineering, finance, and product partners.

You’re naturally curious, self-motivated, and always looking for ways to grow your technical skills and improve how things are done.
