We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join as a key member of the PDX design team within the Platform Mission. 

A key focus area for you will be designing the engineering tools and ways of working for teams at Spotify and beyond.

You’ll need a strong interest in engineering practices and how a user-centered design process can positively impact internal users and the wider business.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future experience for both Spotify and external engineering communities. 

What you’ll do

  • You have a user and data-focused design mentality. You are constantly looking to hone your team's instincts through user feedback and data insight. You understand the role and importance of qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
  • A great communicator. You love to collaborate with lots of different functions.A systems-thinker who loves to create simple and elegant experiences for complex products and considers every facet of the user journey.
  • You are a thoughtful designer and problem solver who questions the status quo and strives for improvement.
  • Have the ability to mentor others to deliver work, and help bring strategy to life.
  • You have an online portfolio, or PDF that you can share with us
