Partner with product designers around the company to develop new components and patterns and improve existing components and patterns.
Collaborate with other design systems teams on evolving our shared processes and tooling to support a large number of teams working on a diverse array of products.
Build work that scales and flexes across a variety of audiences, devices, platforms and form factors ranging from phones over laptop computers to game consoles, connected fridges and cars.
Empower our internal community of 190+ globally distributed designers by providing resources and clarity around Spotify’s design system standard methodologies.

You think of interfaces as dynamic and love thinking about motion and flows.
You are intimately familiar with the capabilities and constraints of several of today’s and tomorrow’s digital devices and platforms.
