Spotify is working to create physical products

From a recruitment ad on Spotify's website - as "Music Ally" pointed out - we can deduce that the company is actually working to create its first physical products (and it sounds logical,  given its current reliance on devices from Apple, Google and Amazon already released).

The ad for an Operation Manager - Hardware Product says:

Spotify is on it’s way creating it’s first physical products and set-up an operational organisation for manufacturing, supply chain, sales & marketing. You will define and manage Distribution, Supply, Logistics, fulfillment and Customer Service for Hardware Products and work with partners to deliver the optimal Spotify experience to millions of users.

Based in Stockholm, this isn’t a job about managing integrations with third-party devices: among the job’s duties is to “manage the supply chain, demand and forecast & inventory”. Separate ads for a Senior Project Manager: Hardware Production and Project Manager: Hardware Production & Engineering are also indications that Spotify’s hardware plans are ramping up.
