About the role

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 own music content ingestion at Spotify, which is how music from labels, distributors and other partners gets onto the platform. We receive industry-standard deliveries, validate them, and turn them into the catalog data that teams across Spotify build on, including lyrics, rights and supply data. As we add new content types and partners, we’re building an ingestion platform that scales without a custom build every time.
