Junior Backend Engineer - Subscriptions

We are a team working on driving free-to-paid conversion through our ownership of pages such as spotify.com/premium and equivalents on Android and iOS. Our surfaces are available to users globally and showcase the differences and benefits between using the free and paid versions of the products, as well as giving users the different options of plans. Beyond that, we cater to the market differences in terms of how we best explain the value proposition of the Spotify subscription, taking into account relevant policies, device differences and legal requirements that apply. Furthermore, we are working on making the experience more relevant to the user through different layers of personalization.

We are very fast-paced and have a culture of helping teams that we work with with what they need.
