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.
The Experience team shapes the core Spotify app used by hundreds of millions of listeners worldwide. Within Core Experience, the Format Foundations team builds and evolves the foundational surfaces that help users explore, understand, and connect with creators and their content — from artists and albums to shows, episodes, authors, books, and more.
We’re looking for a thoughtful, craft-driven Senior Product Designer to join Format Foundations and help shape the heart of Spotify’s mobile experience. These are some of the most highly trafficked and emotionally resonant surfaces in the Spotify app. Our mission is to guide users from initial curiosity to deeper connection and fandom by turning complex content ecosystems into intuitive, inspiring mobile experiences.
