We design Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.

You’ll join the Core Experience Studio, where we shape how millions of people interact with Spotify every day. Within this, the Core Value & Engagement (CV&E) product area focuses on making the core app more engaging and seamless across key user journeys.

CV&E is a fast-growing area made up of multiple squads working on high-impact experiences like social features, personalized moments, and playlist capabilities. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, design, and insights leaders to scale both the technology and the teams behind these experiences.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead multiple engineering squads, supporting strong technical execution and creating clarity across teams.
  • Manage and develop Engineering Managers and engineers, helping them grow and do their best work.
  • Drive delivery of high-quality, reliable features that improve user engagement and overall app performance.
  • Partner closely with Product to shape technical direction, strategy, and roadmaps.
  • Balance discovery and delivery, helping teams explore the right solutions while delivering predictably.
  • Collaborate with Design and Insights to turn user needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Contribute to broader studio alignment, sharing best practices and improving how we work across teams.
  • Support a healthy engineering culture grounded in collaboration, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

Who You Are

  • You have extensive experience leading engineering teams, including managing other managers.
  • You have worked on consumer-facing mobile or web products where performance and user experience matter.
  • You are comfortable contributing to system design and technical discussions.
  • You know how to balance product ambition with quality and reliable delivery.
  • You have experience working cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Insights partners.
  • You care about building inclusive, supportive team environments where people can thrive.
  • You bring a thoughtful approach to scaling teams and delivering large initiatives.
  • You’re motivated by improving the end-user experience and raising the quality bar.

Where You’ll Be

  • This role is based in Stockholm or London.
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.

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.
