About the role
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.
The Desktop Natives squad, part of the Platform & Partner Experience (PPX) Studio, builds and maintains the native layer of the Spotify Desktop app across Windows, macOS, and Linux. We work across the systems outside the shared UI layer, from packaging and delivery to operating system integrations, backend services, release tooling, and the native C++ desktop shell that brings together Client-Core, Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), and Spotify’s Web Player. Our work sits at the intersection of systems engineering, performance, and user experience, helping Spotify feel seamless and truly native on desktop.
