The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Blend to Discover Weekly, we’re behind some of Spotify’s most-loved features. We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Join us and you’ll keep millions of users listening by making great recommendations to each and every one of them.

We are looking for a Staff MLE to join Surfaces Podcasts. The Surfaces Podcasts team builds the systems that power podcast recommendations across some of Spotify’s most visible experiences, including Home and the Now Playing view. We work across candidate generation, ranking, and embedding models to help listeners discover their favorite new podcast and engage deeply with their favorite shows.

We’re also shaping the next generation of personalization through transformer-based models that bring more dynamic, context-aware recommendations to millions of listeners. You’ll collaborate closely with teams across Personalization, Experience, and the Podcast Mission to evolve podcast listening across Spotify.
