There are thousands of developers building great Spotify experiences — who don’t actually work at Spotify. From smart speakers to game consoles to car infotainment systems, how do we support this diverse, creative community building on top of the Spotify platform? Along with providing APIs, SDKs, and other developer tools, it starts with something even more fundamental: listening to and understanding their needs. That’s where our developer advocates come in.
Host Dave Zolotusky talks with Serah Kiburu, a Spotify engineer and senior developer advocate. They discuss how and why Spotify supports third-party developers, the value of being “customer zero” for our own developer tools, our most popular APIs, the importance of listening before you start building, Serah’s journey to Spotify in Stockholm, and how she’s preparing for the robot apocalypse.
