Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with strong visual and interaction design skills, who’s comfortable exploring multiple design directions and knows how to turn ideas into clear, user-friendly experiences
- 5+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio showing visual excellence and UX / Design thinking
- Strong visual and UX design skills, with a focus on interface clarity, hierarchy, and usability

- You’ll be crafting products that are emotionally resonant, visually sharp, and intuitive to use
- You’ll work closely with our UX research team from early discovery through delivery. We care deeply about design and research working side by side and equally about designers who enjoy bouncing ideas with engineers early in the process, not just handing off work at the end
- Design fan monetization experiences across both the artist and listener side of the product
- Collaborate deeply with UX research, treating them as thought partners throughout the design process
- Create multiple design concepts and variations, balancing speed with craft
- Uphold high standards of visual quality, including strong typography, layout, and hierarchy

- Iterate based on feedback, research insights, and data without losing sight of usability and the bigger picture
- Help push our product toward bold, expressive design that resonates with music fans and creators
- Advocate for design quality and consistency while remaining flexible and pragmatic
- Fan Monetization is one of our most important areas of focus. The features you design will shape how millions of users experience and support music, and how creators can build sustainable careers. Your work will have a real cultural and emotional impact
Our take
Founded in 2007, SoundCloud recognized the need for an artist-first platform. The company set out with a clear mission: to empower independent artists by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to grow and build their careers.
Today, SoundCloud boasts over 40M artists on its platform, far outpacing Spotify, which has 11M. As a result, SoundCloud is the largest audio discovery platform in a rapidly growing market. According to MIDiA Research, the independent artist market is poised for continued revenue growth in the coming years, further solidifying SoundCloud's place in the industry.
The company plans to scale its audience and expand its services through new offerings, such as the SoundCloud "roster". This tier system is designed to provide artists with significant creative and financial resources, along with market support, rivalling major record labels. While artists retain ownership of their copyrights, they will be represented by SoundCloud, further enhancing the platform's appeal to independent creators.
