About the role
The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. Spanning many disciplines, we work to make the business work; creating the infrastructure, tooling, frameworks, and capabilities needed to welcome a billion customers.
Spotify runs on the tools we've built for ourselves. They help hundreds of teams ship every day to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Now, we're sharing them.
Spotify Technology brings our proven tools and services together for engineering organisations everywhere, from global enterprises to individual developers. As AI reshapes how software gets made, we're building on years of experience solving complex engineering challenges at scale.
Platform Design makes these powerful tools feel effortless. We shape the services, products and experiences used by Spotify's engineering teams and by developers around the world. We believe great design is a competitive advantage, and developer tools deserve the same care and craft as any consumer product.
As a Staff Product Designer, you'll combine product leadership with hands-on design and engineering. You'll shape the experience strategy for a key part of the Spotify Technology portfolio, establish a distinctive visual language, and turn internal tools into products customers love using. You'll work closely with product, engineering and marketing partners, reporting to the Spotify Technology Design Director.

- Explore how generative AI and agentic tools can improve design and development workflows, while creating thoughtful experiences for products used by people and AI agents.
- Raise the bar for design craft across the team, championing design systems, inclusive experiences and a culture of collaboration, feedback and continuous learning.
