Senior Software Engineer

Apr 2021 – Dec 2021 · 8 mos · Berlin, Germany · Remote

Worked on the Backstage team, responsible for building, deploying and scaling Backstage (https://backstage.io/) internally to the team of ~4000 employees. I left because communication didn't work as well as I'd hoped since Spotify was never remote-first along with a few other organizational issues in response to the pandemic.
