Description
We are seeking a Staff Research Scientist to join our Artist-First AI Music lab. Our team pioneers and advances state-of-the-art generative technologies for music that create breakthrough experiences for fans and artists.
Our products will put artists and songwriters first, through four key principles:
- Partnerships with record labels, distributors, and music publishers: We’ll develop new products for artists and fans through upfront agreements, not by asking for forgiveness later.
- Choice in participation: We recognize there’s a wide range of views on use of generative music tools within the artistic community. Therefore, artists and rightsholders will choose if and how to participate to ensure the use of AI tools aligns with the values of the people behind the music.
- Fair compensation and new revenue: We will build products that create wholly new revenue streams for rightsholders, artists, and songwriters, ensuring they are properly compensated for uses of their work and transparently credited for their contributions.
- Artist-fan connection: AI tools we develop will not replace human artistry. They will give artists new ways to be creative and connect with fans.
As a Staff Research Scientist, you will conduct groundbreaking research in music generation, run large-scale experiments, create practical applications, and collaborate with a cross-functional team to craft innovative solutions to complex challenges.
You will have a direct impact on Spotify’s products, tools, and services, working on projects that influence the entire organization. You will also engage with the broader research community by publishing your findings, delivering talks, and attending top conferences.
We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the North Americas region as long as we have a work location. This team operates within the Eastern Standard time zone for collaboration.
Core working hours are CET 3pm-6pm / EST 9am-12pm.
