The role

The Product Experience team is a multidisciplinary team responsible for our user facing touch points - mobile, desktop, and web apps. We're now looking to strengthen the team with backend competence. As a backend engineer in the team, you’ll be working on a wide range of user-centric projects together with other frontend engineers, product owners, UI/UX designers, machine learning experts, researchers, music experts and analysts. 

Your primary focus will be to work on new features and continuous improvements to support user-facing features in our apps built on React/React Native. As a team we continuously iterate based on insights, A/B testing and qualitative user feedback.
