We are looking for an enthusiastic product designer with a systems-thinking mindset to join our Content Platform team. We are a central enabler for the Spotify business, delivering a complete, available and enriched catalog of music, podcasts, videos and more.

  • You have an online portfolio, or PDF that you can share with us. A link to your online portfolio, or a PDF, is required. Applications without a portfolio are unlikely to be considered.
