EVENT DETAILS |
This talk by Spotify Chapter Lead Chris Angove will illustrate how Spotify is organized around empowering engineers to excel. It will cover the strategies Spotify uses to improve organization structure as well as non-linear career development paths.
Short description:
Spotify has created a matrix structure designed to achieve team autonomy without losing economies of scale. While work flows from the self-managing team, the Chapter provides a mechanism to foster consistency, support and care of an engineering practice. Because of this autonomy engineers are not defined by their level but rather what they are doing. This empowers people to take chances, try new things and figure out ways to make an impact. However, this does present a challenge on career development. This talk will cover these challenges and the strategies Spotify is using to help engineers achieve mastery, purpose and autonomy.
