The Oracles sit at the heart of Spotify’s financial infrastructure, building and evolving the systems that power our subledger and accounting lifecycle.

  • Guide system and product design to ensure accounting best practices and controls are built into the foundation
  • Translate complex accounting requirements into scalable, structured system inputs across the subledger lifecycle
  • Partner closely with engineers and product teams to shape flows for accruals, adjustments, reconciliation, and rebooking
  • Contribute to the development lifecycle by informing, prototyping, and validating solutions for our core accounting platform
  • Analyze existing accounting flows to separate core requirements from legacy technical constraints
  • Help define and standardize accounting logic across systems like MoneyBooker, IOU Batcher, and NetSuite integrations
  • Break down ambiguous financial and technical challenges into simple, practical solutions

  • You are comfortable working in data-driven or system-heavy environments and are curious about how systems operate
  • You bring a structured, analytical approach to problem solving and are comfortable navigating ambiguity
  • You have experience working with ERP systems, with NetSuite as a plus
  • You are interested in developing your technical skillset and working more closely with engineering
  • You enjoy working at the intersection of finance, systems, and product in evolving environments
