Job Description

What You'll Do

  • Design experiences that help listeners share moments together and move effortlessly between the devices and platforms around them.

  • Own complex design problems from early exploration through execution, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and product opportunities.

  • Create thoughtful, polished user experiences with a strong focus on interaction design, visual craft, and the details that make an experience feel intuitive.

  • Partner closely with Product and Engineering to understand the technology behind the experience and turn complex systems into simple experiences for listeners.

  • Explore how experiences scale across mobile, desktop, TVs, speakers, cars, and other surfaces in the Spotify ecosystem.

  • Use prototyping to explore, communicate, and test ideas, including AI-assisted and code-based approaches where they help us learn faster.

  • Collaborate with UX Research and Insights to understand listener needs and use those insights to inform your design decisions.

  • Work across teams, including Core Experience, to build alignment and ensure cohesiveness within the broader Spotify experience.

Who You Are

  • You have experience designing sophisticated, user-facing digital products and can show complex UX and interaction challenges in your portfolio.

  • You have strong visual and interaction design craft and care about creating polished experiences down to the details.

  • You understand how technology and technical constraints shape product design, and you’re curious enough to dig deeper when the system behind an experience matters.

  • You have experience designing for mobile and can think beyond a single screen or device to understand how an experience scales across platforms.

  • You bring systems thinking to your work and can connect individual interactions to the broader product ecosystem.

  • You’re comfortable owning ambiguous, complex projects and can take a brief, create clarity, and move the work forward with a high degree of autonomy.

  • You’re a strong prototyper and are comfortable using tools such as Figma to move beyond static screens and demonstrate how an experience actually works.

  • You’re curious about AI-assisted design and prototyping and interested in experimenting with new ways to explore ideas with greater speed and fidelity.

  • You communicate your design reasoning clearly and know how to build alignment with Product, Engineering, Research, Design, and other partners.

  • Experience designing social, synchronous, real-time, multi-device, privacy-aware, or ecosystem products can help you make an impact in this role.
