Process

Applied through their website and got an email the next day to book a Skype interview. Had the interview two days later with their head of recruitment. It consisted mostly of general questions about me and my questions about Spotify. I passed this phase and had a programming test afterward, for which I was given a week to complete. Unfortunately, I did not pass this phase.
