Currently ahead of Apple Music in terms of revenue as well as listeners, Spotify is literally where a majority of the world goes to get their daily dose of music and podcasts. Built around an incredibly powerful recommendation engine (of which I’m an absolute fan), Spotify has the unique ability to serve you fresh music that you’re sure to love. With their recent launch in India, Spotify is now a global giant in the music industry, and chances are you’ve used their music streaming services sometime in your life. Expanding slowly but surely into the hardware industry, Spotify’s first product is the Car Thing… A device that brings Spotify’s music collection and app-services into your automobile. While still not officially launched, the Car Thing is just one of Spotify’s many products to help deliver their music-streaming services to the best of their ability. Spotify is looking to recruit a Product Designer to help visualize their car & wearables experience.
