About the job
The newly established Performance Optimization Team within the Core Infrastructure Studio aims to cultivate core expertise in performance engineering and resolve systemic inefficiencies across Spotify's vast platform. With over 3,200 microservices, 40,000 virtual machines at peak, and 500,000 Kubernetes pods, even small enhancements in fleet-wide efficiency can lead to significant cost savings. Our initial initiative has already identified $8 million in annual savings, and we are only at the beginning of our journey.
This team collaborates across the entire stack, but optimization relies heavily on data-driven insights. We are seeking a Data Analyst who will establish the measurement framework essential for informing our decisions.
