Product Manager - Machine Learning Infrastructure

The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. Spanning many disciplines, we work to make the business work; creating the frameworks, capabilities and tools needed to welcome a billion customers. Join us and help to amplify productivity, quality and innovation across Spotify.
At Spotify, we want to create the best product that matches the perfect music at the perfect moment for our 300Million+ users. Core to this mission is having an incredibly personalized platform for our customers and being able to recommend the most relevant content to surface in any context. This mission begins with Machine Learning. It is crafted from the insights and ideas our engineers generate from the data, buoyed by the connections they make with fellow specialists. Encouraging those connections and building a magical experience for Machine Learning practitioners is the mission of our Machine Learning Platform, and we’re looking for a Product Manager to help drive these efforts.
As a Product Manager on the Machine Learning Platform team, you’ll be working with an outstanding team of engineers, researchers, data scientists and other product managers to build infrastructure to make machine learning efforts move more rapidly and deliver better results. The outputs of the team building on our platform will connect the creators on Spotify’s platform (music, podcasts and more) to the growing global Spotify user base.
