Spotify Job Listings Hint At Possible Hardware Like Wearables
Spotify is on platforms ranging to your desktop to your speakers, but could it head to your wristwatch next? According to three recent job postings spotted by technologist Dave Zatz, Spotify may be looking into making its own wearable that would prominently feature Spotify functionality. In a since taken down listing for a senior hardware product manager (read the cached version here), Spotify wanted candidates who'd be able to develop products that could "become new Spotify business lines," comparable to the "Pebble Watch, Amazon Echo and Snap Spectacles." Other notable listings that Zatz cites include two advanced postings for a natural language understanding engineer and voice product manager -- both heavily emphasize voice recognition and the second product manager listing also cites wearables. For Spotify, the potential move seemingly comes out of left field.
