Updated 11/22/2025
Spotify's interview process for Senior Software Engineers typically spans 1-3 months and consists of 6 main stages: an initial recruiter screening, a technical phone screen, and a comprehensive 4-hour onsite interview consisting of multiple rounds including coding/DSA, system design, behavioral assessment, and case study evaluation. The process is designed to evaluate technical expertise, system design thinking, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit. The entire process is centralized, meaning you won't typically interview with your future team members until the offer stage.
