We grow and develop and make wonderful things happen together every day. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, or what music you love. Join the band!
Spotify’s mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their work and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it.
The Marketplace team builds Spotify's content and creator platforms. Our Content Platform ingests, understands, and safeguards the world's audio. Our Creator products - Spotify for Artists, Soundtrap, and SoundBetter - enable artists and their teams to create, connect, and grow their audience.
With the scale and challenges of where we are now, and to set us up for the next stage of growth on Marketplace, we are investing in building a Marketplace-specific technology platform, called Core. Core seeks to power the Spotify Marketplace by building a consistent and reliable enterprise-grade platform to serve the needs of our customers.
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Marketplace Core team. You will help us increase our impact on the music industry by ensuring we are delivering a trustworthy product to our users and partners, developing a consistent and coherent core user experience in our products, and enabling our internal teams to quickly iterate and innovate. You will inform the way we build our core platform to empower feature teams, allowing artists and their teams to find the content and tools they need to express their identity, submit their music for editorial playlisting, understand their audience, and achieve success on Spotify.
Our mission is to turn terabytes of data into insights and gain a deeper understanding of the world of music creators. You’ll work as part of a cross-disciplinary team to craft and execute research throughout the product development cycle, bringing insights into every decision we make.
Spotify transformed music listening forever when we launched in 2008.

Everything we do is driven by our love for music and podcasting. Today, we are the world’s most popular audio streaming subscription service with a community of more than 345 million users.
