Spotify has more than 600M listeners in more than 180 markets around the world, who use our music, podcast, and audiobook services to find what delights, entertains, educates, and informs them. Personalization is a high impact organization that provides the technology to serve them what they expect to find, to help them explore and find new things to enjoy, and to suggest things they might not be aware of that they would like.
We are looking for a Research Scientist with a machine learning background to help us improve personalization experiences. You will join a team of researchers whose focus is on enhancing the Spotify experience by researching, developing, and integrating state-of-the-art generative AI technologies into our search and recommender systems, and unlock new interactive experiences.
You will be part of an interdisciplinary team focusing on ensuring that the foundations of Spotify technologies are at or above the state of the art and, in the process, redefine the state of the art for the field and contributing to the wider research community by publishing papers. Our team has strong ties internally to product groups as well as externally to the research community.
Areas of expertise: Information Retrieval, Recommendation System, Language Technologies, Foundational Models, Generative AI Technologies, and Machine Learning
