Staff Product Designer - Platform Design

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.
