We design Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.

We’re building one of Spotify’s most social and engaging experiences: Jam. Jam brings people together through music, enabling friends and groups to listen in real time, wherever they are. It transforms listening from a solo activity into a shared experience and plays an important role in how Spotify connects users through audio.

You’ll join a cross-functional team working across mobile, backend, and platform technologies to shape how millions of people experience music together.
