Job Description

We're looking for a technically proficient product designer to join our team. This is a hybrid role that combines design systems thinking with hands-on product design across Spotify’s advertiser-facing tools. You’ll work across high-priority areas like campaign creation, audience targeting, reporting, optimization, creative tooling, and internal platforms. If you enjoy solving complex problems with cross-functional partners and are confident navigating technical domains like AI, automation, and experimentation, we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Do

  • Design user experiences across Spotify’s self-serve advertising platform (Ads Manager), contributing to features like ad creation, targeting, reporting, optimization, and measurement.

  • Help define and scale a robust design system used across Ads Manager and internal tools, with an emphasis on component reusability, accessibility, and performance.

  • Work closely with engineers to map backend systems, APIs, and ML-powered features to front-end interfaces that are intuitive and performant.

  • Collaborate with PMs, engineers, data scientists, researchers, and content designers to shape strategy, prioritize user value, and ship high-impact work.

  • Build prototypes to explore technical constraints, validate interaction models, and communicate product behavior—especially in dynamic or data-driven environments.

  • Lead or support design efforts on internal tools used by operational teams, helping reduce manual processes and improve the efficiency and trustworthiness of internal workflows.

  • Identify design gaps, inconsistencies, or missed system opportunities, and advocate for a more unified and scalable user experience.

  • Contribute to a feedback-rich team culture that encourages critique, iteration, and craft excellence.

Who You Are

  • You have 4+ years of experience designing complex digital products, ideally in ad tech, ML-driven tools, enterprise SaaS, or large-scale platforms.

  • You’re comfortable working within and across systems—building design patterns that scale, while shipping polished UI across varied user flows.

  • You work well with engineers and are familiar with technical concepts like APIs, data schemas, event flows, and service design. You know how to ask the right questions to evaluate what’s feasible and what’s possible.

  • You’re curious and hands-on with AI and machine learning, and excited about designing interfaces that make automation feel clear, useful, and controllable.

  • You have experience with A/B testing or experimentation frameworks and understand how metrics, test results, and hypotheses shape product iteration.

  • You’re confident using prototyping tools to explore logic-heavy interactions, conditional flows, and systems feedback.

  • You thrive in fast-moving, collaborative environments, and can prioritize effectively when contributing across multiple domains.

  • You’re excited to grow your influence by mentoring others informally, shaping design standards, and helping teammates connect technical dots.

  • Experience designing advertising, monetization, or creative automation tools.

  • Familiarity with real-time decisioning systems, delivery pipelines, or ML model outputs.

  • Background in operational tools or designing for internal user groups with high workflow complexity.

  • Experience contributing to or maintaining large-scale design systems with developer collaboration.

Where You'll Be

  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the Americas region as long as we have  a work location.

  • This team operates within the U.S. Eastern time zone for collaboration.

The United States base range for this position is $118,623.00 - $169,462.00, plus equity. The benefits available for this position include health insurance, six month paid parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, monthly meal allowance, 23 paid days off, 13 paid flexible holidays. This range encompasses multiple levels. Leveling is determined during the interview process. Placement in a level depends on relevant work history and interview performance. These ranges may be modified in the future.

Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.

At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure our entire recruitment process is accessible to everyone. We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need. If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know - we’re here to support you in any way we can.
