Music Expression builds the tools artists use to show who they are on Spotify and to connect with fans. A song doesn't have to be just a track in a list. On Spotify it can come with a looping Canvas visual, a music video, a vertical-video clip from the artist, or a countdown to a new release. Release day can become a shared Listening Party. Every one of those things was built by this org. Each squad owns part of the artist-to-fan journey.
The work runs from video pipelines and serving infrastructure through mobile and web clients to rights systems, so engineers get real depth and range. Product, design, data science, research and product marketing work inside the squads, and they work directly with artists and labels. What you ship changes how artists show up on Spotify and how fans experience their music. If you want to work where technology meets creativity and culture, this is the place.
If this role excites you but you don't meet every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds.
