We design Spotify's consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration.

The Desktop Natives squad maintains the native layer of the Spotify Desktop app across Windows, macOS, and Linux, working on systems outside the shared UI layer including packaging, OS integrations, backend services, release tooling, and the C++ desktop shell combining Client-Core, Chromium Embedded Framework, and Spotify's Web Player.
