Stockholm, Sweden Spotify Full time

We think this is a rare opportunity to be part of Spotify's groundbreaking journey as we evolve from an audio-first platform to also become a world-class video service. We're not just building features; we're creating a best-in-class video experience to rival the biggest players, like YouTube or TikTok. From offline playback to adaptive streaming with optimized video quality, you will be part of a team that defines how video will be consumed by hundreds of millions Spotify users.

We think you have many years of solid hands-on experience with video in code, from transcoding, streaming, demuxing, to adaptive bitrate selection and presentation of frames and audio samples. This is a very good opportunity to expand your impact to help us at Spotify drive innovation in a space that's becoming increasingly vital to our growth. Joining us now will enable you to greatly influence our journey and make a lasting impact for the years to come.

You will be joining an environment with a lot of collaboration, innovation and cross-functional teams that deliver seamless, high-quality video experiences. Your role will be to provide the right APIs and implementations to allow all of those teams to serve a first class video experience every time. If you are ready to make an impact and push the boundaries of video technology, let's get in touch

What You'll Do

1. Be part of a dynamic team focusing on creating a world-class mobile video experience, optimized for low-bandwidth environments and seamless on-the-go usage.
2. Be a technical leader, meaning that you will be coding (in C++, Swift and/or Kotlin), writing easy to understand documents and presenting for larger groups and key leaders. At Spotify, we champion the perfect blend of strategy, creativity, and hands-on coding to drive innovation and deliver exceptional user experiences.
3. Embrace the challenge of achieving low complexity with high performance, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mobile video technology.

Who You Are

1. A seasoned professional with a proven track record in senior roles, bringing a wealth of expertise and leadership to the table.
2. Passionate about coding and hands-on problem-solving, while actively shaping and driving key strategic decisions.
3. A comprehensive understanding of the entire video delivery ecosystem, from ingestion and encoding to decoding and seamless presentation.
4. Over 8 years of deep, hands-on experience in the video playback domain, showcasing long-term dedication and mastery.
5. Experience in implementing advanced video playback solutions using lower-level AVFoundation APIs, such as AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer and AVSampleBufferRenderSynchronizer is beneficial (or similar frameworks on other platforms).
6. Experience in using Apple’s low-level VideoToolbox framework to deliver high-performance media playback solutions is beneficial (or similar frameworks on other platforms).
7. Experience in working at the frame level for video playback, using CMSampleBuffer to achieve precision and control is beneficial (or similar frameworks on other platform).
8. A deep understanding of video streaming technologies, with expertise in delivery protocols and the nuances of modern streaming ecosystems.

Where You'll Be

1. This role is based in Stockholm or London.
2. We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best There will be some in-person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
