Senior Product Designer - job at Spotify

The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Blend to Discover Weekly, we’re behind some of Spotify’s most-loved features. We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Join us and you’ll keep millions of users listening by making great recommendations to each and every one of them. We ask that our team members be physically located in Central European time or Eastern Standard/Daylight time zones for the purposes of our collaboration hours.

We are looking for an expert product designer to join our Home team, tasked with the start page for all of Spotify. The Home screen helps our listeners quickly find something to listen to while also introducing them to new music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Our goal is to make every listening session more enriching through personalization and discovery. The content is why people come to Spotify—to be entertained, inspired, and informed. You'll help find innovative ways to combine our understanding of the world of music, podcasts, and audiobooks with our ~600M users’ unique tastes, bringing fans an experience tailored uniquely to them, and helping them discover content that they love.

What You'll Do

Build new and engaging content programming solutions that help listeners choose what to listen to when they enter Spotify.
Leverage complex recommendation technologies powered by Machine Learning to build content programming systems that evolve and improve over time.
Partner with Product, Tech, and Insights leads to collectively set the mission, vision, and strategy.
Work closely with senior leadership to influence and create strategic visions for the product.
Work with your Product, Design, and Insights partners to ensure there is a deep understanding of user needs and that design solutions deliver meaningful impact.
Challenge the status quo on innovation and quality of design work.
Take into account existing insights, technical constraints, business needs, and specific platform demands to produce data-informed solutions.
You’ll take full ownership of your work and total responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way, from whiteboard sketching to high-fidelity final treatments.
Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes, understanding when deeper exploration is warranted and when it is best to change paths and try another approach.
Proactively look for and resolve high-level issues and opportunities.
Advocate and promote the role of Design in innovative machine learning technologies.
