Spotify

We founded Spotify in 2006, launching our audio streaming service in Sweden in 2008. We give users access to over 70 million tracks, which they can discover, manage, and share. Our service includes a free tier and Spotify Premium, offering features like offline mode, better sound quality, and ad-free listening. We currently serve 365 million users, including 165 million subscribers, across 178 markets, and we help generate revenue for the music business.

We also develop other platforms, like Backstage, which is an open platform for building developer portals. Our Watch Feed helps users find new content on Home, Browse, Playlist, Artist, and Album pages, supporting video and podcast playback. We sell audio, display, and video advertising space to enterprise clients and partner with hardware manufacturers and app developers to integrate Spotify across various devices and software. Our work also includes core data platform development, running The Ringer’s Podcast Network, and developing client continuous integration infrastructure.

Our mission is to unlock human creativity by giving artists ways to earn a living from their art and offering fans enjoyment and inspiration. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, which we call “one band, no solo artists.”

Our core values guide us:

• “One band, no solo artists” means we work together.
• “We all have parts to play” ensures everyone feels they belong and can thrive.
• “Listening and learning” helps us shape the future of audio, society, and the planet.
• “Building a Spotify for Everyone” focuses on inclusion, amplifying diverse voices, and creating an environment where our team, creators, and listeners can all succeed.
• “Actions, not just words” means we value clear progress, accountability, and tangible impact.
• “Drive Growth Through Fairness” commits us to fairness, removing barriers, and fostering a culture where every team member can grow.
• “Prioritize Mental Health for All” means we cultivate a supportive environment, provide resources, and encourage open talks about well-being.
• “An inclusion mindset” means we approach inclusion with a growth mindset, embracing challenges and seeking input from those who have experienced exclusion or bias.

We have between 5,001 and 10,000 employees. Our culture encourages collaboration; we say “Join the band” and “one band, no solo artists.” We want everyone to feel they belong and can thrive, growing and contributing together.

We operate globally, hiring wherever new roles emerge. Our workplace is inclusive, welcoming people regardless of origin, appearance, or music preferences, and we actively amplify diverse voices. We’re committed to gender equity and building a workforce that mirrors the creators, artists, and consumers on our platform through inclusive hiring. Our global inclusion efforts cover LGBTQIA+ inclusion, Disability & Neuroinclusion (as members of the Valuable 500), Racial equity, and Women & gender equity, all while keeping a local focus. Our team members also lead many belonging communities like Able, Arabs, BLK, Banda, Christians, Desis, GenZ, Muslims, Parents, Persians, Remix, Shalom, SPACE, Spectrum, Veterans, and Women, offering support, community, and educational events. Our work environment values modern agile practices, cross-team collaboration, and quick, data-informed iteration.
