  • Designing and running large-scale analyses and evaluations of generative music systems
  • Partnering with Engineers and AI Researchers to integrate evaluation signals into model development loops
  • Identifying behavioral and market dynamics that shape sustainable consumer demand and creator participation
  • Building practical, scalable metrics and decision systems to define what "good" looks like for AI music
  • Creating datasets, dashboards, and long-term measurement systems to give Spotify a lasting understanding of product health and impact

The successful candidate will have:

  • A track record of using insights to shape strategy for major company initiatives
  • Significant hands-on experience in advanced analytics or data science, ideally in a domain involving LLM evaluation, user-generated content, or complex user behavior

  • Experience developing metrics frameworks for complex products
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks and designing and assessing multimodal or embedding-based models

We offer a flexible work arrangement, with the possibility of remote work, and a salary range of $144,714–$206,735 USD per year, plus equity.
