Job Description

Spotify’s Subscriptions Mission focuses on converting listeners into lifelong subscribers by delivering seamless, valuable experiences across pricing, packaging, and customer journeys. We build the systems and tools that power acquisition, retention, and overall subscription growth at scale.

The Messaging Platform powers Spotify’s communications to over a billion users — from push notifications to emails and in-app messages that connect listeners to the content they love. Within this space, the Paloma squad focuses on message optimization: deciding which message reaches which user, through which channel, and at what moment.

We’re evolving how messaging works at Spotify — moving from short-term optimization toward systems that understand long-term user journeys. By combining reinforcement learning approaches with deeper domain signals, we’re expanding how machine learning shapes the entire messaging funnel.

 

Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.

We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need. If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know - we’re here to support you in any way we can.
