Beatport is the global pulse for electronic music and culture… a trusted source where fans, DJs, producers, and artists alike can create, connect and discover through a complete collection of music-inspired experiences, all within one platform. This includes streaming music and video, downloading tracks, creating and sharing mixes, enjoying festivals and events both in person and live online, and accessing news, reviews, and insider videos.

Beatport is seeking a collaborative Product/UX Designer that will work alongside our engineers, product managers and fellow designers to create an awesome experience for our users – the people who create electronic music, and the fans who love it. Your creativity and energy will help to define and refine the way people use Beatport and connect to the music they love. By creating solutions to our most complex user experience and design issues you will ensure that Beatport users leave happy and return often.
