Job Description

Conduct ground breaking research in music generation (diffusion, flow matching, or autoregressive models), as well as related domains like ML-based audio processing, music information retrieval, machine learning, and signal processing. Run large-scale experiments with access to Spotify’s extensive infrastructure and an audience of more than 700 million monthly active users. Create practical applications that harness generative technologies, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in listening experiences. Collaborate as part of a cross-functional team—working closely with scientists, engineers, product managers, designers, user researchers, and analysts—to craft innovative solutions to complex challenges. Have a direct impact on Spotify’s products, tools, and services, working on projects that influence the entire organization. Engage with the broader research community by publishing your findings, delivering talks, and attending top conferences.
