Job Description

Machine Learning Engineer, Artist-First AI Music Lab

Spotify

• Design, build, evaluate, and improve machine learning training and inference pipelines that power new AI-driven music experiences and help take them to fully scaled production-ready features. • Apply machine learning and prompt engineering knowledge across complex ML pipelines to support rich user experiences involving large language models. • Create evaluation frameworks, including LLM-as-judge pipelines, to measure quality and build fast feedback loops that enable rapid and confident iteration. • Partner with music subject-matter experts to bootstrap training and reference data, including synthetic generation, expert curation, and taxonomy design. • Build scalable systems that balance experimentation velocity with production rigor, ensuring strong performance, reliability, and latency at Spotify scale. • Collaborate closely with Data Science teams to connect evaluation frameworks with real-world usage signals and continuously improve model quality. • Contribute to technical direction and engineering best practices across model deployment, observability, experimentation, and production infrastructure. • Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, design, and music industry partners to shape entirely new listening experiences for artists and fans.

Job Requirements

  • Experienced in applying machine learning in production environments.
  • You have hands-on experience working with large language models, prompt engineering, evaluation systems, and shipping LLM-driven features in production.
  • You have experience building and maintaining production ML systems using Python, Java, Scala, or similar languages.
  • You are experienced in building large-scale data pipelines for sourcing, preparing, and evaluating training data.
  • You have worked with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar infrastructure environments.
  • You are comfortable explaining machine learning concepts, assumptions, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You have experience building user-facing products and strong judgment around conversational AI and generative user experiences.
  • You care deeply about experimentation, iteration, and using data to guide product and engineering decisions.
  • You thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams that move quickly, experiment often, and continuously learn.

Benefits

  • health insurance
  • six month paid parental leave
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • monthly meal allowance
  • 23 paid days off
  • 13 paid flexible holidays
  • paid sick leave
