Are you excited by the idea of building fast, reliable, and intelligent infrastructure for a product used by engineering teams around the world? We’re looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the Backstage team at Spotify. We’re building the next generation of our developer platform — one that doesn’t just manage software, but actively helps create and maintain it through AI-native workflows.

In 2026, SRE isn’t just about uptime; it’s about symbiosis. As part of our growing engineering team, you’ll design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure behind our external developer portal product and our internal fleet of background coding agents. You’ll collaborate closely with experienced engineers (both human and AI-assisted) while operating at real-world scale, with deep observability, strong safety boundaries, and the unique reliability challenges of agentic production systems.

Backstage is more than just a platform — it’s a foundational force in the developer community. Born out of Spotify’s quest for better developer tooling, Backstage now powers developer portals across the globe. But we didn’t stop at catalogs and templates. Today, Backstage is becoming the command center for AI-native engineering. From enterprises orchestrating large-scale migrations to fast-moving teams using AI to improve velocity and quality, our solutions are redefining what great developer experience looks like.

As part of the Backstage team, you’ll shape developer experience for companies large and small, for our thriving open-source community, and for Spotify itself. You’ll help define how reliable, secure infrastructure enables the next wave of agentic developer tooling.
