## Job description

SoundCloud empowers artists and fans to connect and share through music. Founded in 2007, SoundCloud is an artist-first platform empowering artists to build and grow their careers by providing them with the most progressive tools, services, and resources. With over 400+ million tracks from 40 million artists, the future of music is SoundCloud.

As a Senior Product Designer on the Creator Team, you will be a driving force behind defining and designing intuitive, impactful, and innovative tools for artists, producers, and music creators. A massive part of this role will focus on data storytelling: taking complex streaming analytics, audience demographics, and financial metrics, and turning them into clear, actionable insights that help artists grow their careers.

This role requires an entrepreneurial and autonomous mindset. You will have a high degree of ownership and must be comfortable leading complex design initiatives from zero to one with minimal product management support. You will bridge the gap between product strategy and execution, using deep product thinking to define what we build, not just how it looks.

Applications without portfolios will not be considered.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design high-craft, intuitive product experiences that turn complex streaming analytics, audience metrics, and monetization insights into elegant, actionable dashboards for creators, using exceptional typography, visual hierarchy, and interaction detail
- Own and drive the end-to-end design process for creator-focused products. Step up to define product scope, requirements, and strategy when product management support is light
- Translate vague, complex user problems and business goals into clear, elegant, and intuitive product workflows
- Utilize advanced AI design tools and methodologies to supercharge your design process, accelerate rapid prototyping, automate repetitive tasks, and scale your output
- Conduct scrappy user research and leverage insights to create workflows, UI, and interactions that support creators in uploading, managing, and monetizing their content
- Partner directly with Engineering leads and key stakeholders to ensure technical feasibility, maintain alignment, and champion design quality through deployment
- Help evolve and maintain SoundCloud’s design system to ensure consistency and scalability across creator tools

Experience and Background:

- 5+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI, or interaction design, preferably in music, fintech, creator economy, or complex SaaS platforms
- A strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to take dense, complex data sets and present them in a beautifully simple, intuitive, and visually compelling way. Experience building analytics dashboards is a must
- Proven track record of leading major product features or entire product areas independently with little day-to-day product support
- Exceptional problem-solving skills with a portfolio that highlights why decisions were made, the business impact, and how you navigated complex user experience constraints
- Expert-level mastery of Figma, alongside hands-on experience leveraging modern AI design tools (e.g., Figma AI features, automated prototyping tools, or generative asset workflows) to optimize efficiency
- Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to pitch product ideas, justify design decisions, and align cross-functional teams without formal authority
- A genuine interest in music production, audio culture, or empowering independent artists to grow their careers
- Experience with motion design and advanced prototyping tools to bring data interactions to life, and familiarity with frontend development principles (HTML, CSS, React, etc.) or data visualization libraries (like D3.js or Highcharts) to smoothly collaborate with engineering are pluses

The salary range for this role is $170,000- $180,000 annually. The final salary offered will be determined based on relative experience, skills, internal equity, and location. We also offer a generous total rewards program - read more about additional benefits and perks below!

About us:

- We are a multinational company with offices in the US (New York and Los Angeles), Germany (Berlin), and the UK (London)
- We provide a flexible work culture that offers the opportunity to collaborate and connect in person at our offices as well as accommodating work from home
- We are deeply committed to ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of our organization and fostering a community where everyone’s voice, perspective and experience is respected and heard
- We believe a strong team is made by investing in employees through mentorship, workshops and enrichment opportunities

Benefits:

- Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision plans, as well as mental health resources
- Robust 401k program
- Employee Equity Plan
- Generous professional development allowance
- Interested in a gym membership, photography course or book? We have a Creativity and Wellness benefit!
- Flexible vacation and public holiday policy where you can take up to 35 days of PTO annually
- 16 paid weeks for all parents (birthing and non-birthing), regardless of gender, to welcome newborns, adopted and foster children
- Various snacks, goodies, and 2 free lunches weekly when at the office

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at SoundCloud

SoundCloud is for everyone. Diversity and open expression are fundamental to our organization; they help us lead what’s next in music by understanding and empowering our creators and fans, no matter their identity. We acknowledge the challenges in the music industry, and strive to influence an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute respectfully and thrive, especially the historically marginalized communities that many of our creators, fans and SoundClouders identify with. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment at SoundCloud for everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, migration background, national origin, age, disability status, or care-giver status.

At SoundCloud you can find your community or elevate your allyship by joining a Diversity Resource Group. Diversity Resource Groups are employee-organized groups focused on supporting and promoting the interests of a particular underrepresented community in order to build a more inclusive culture at SoundCloud. Anyone can join, whether you share the identity or strive to be an ally.
