We are looking for Data Scientists from mid to senior level to join our insights team in Platform & Partner Experiences to help us drive and support evidence-based decisions throughout Spotify’s product development process. Our team is responsible for Spotify’s consumer experiences such as desktop, TV, speakers and smartwatches and for delivering work alongside some of our biggest tech partners. Together with us you will study user behaviour, evaluate critical initiatives and experiment with new features to drive decisions that influence the way the world experiences music, podcasts and audiobooks.


What You'll Do

  • You will collaborate with fellow Data Scientists and Data Engineers, and co-operate with cross-functional teams of product managers, engineers, designers and user researchers who are passionate about our consumer experience, to identify and answer key product questions via data.
  • You will be a key partner in our work to build out and deliver innovative product features that create valuable and engaging listening moments in the daily lives of Spotify users.
  • You will perform analysis on large sets of data to extract impactful insights about user behaviour and product usage that will help drive product decisions and guide our strategy.
  • You will communicate insights and recommendations to stakeholders within your team and across Spotify.

Who You Are

  • You have relevant experience or a degree in statistics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics or another quantitative subject area. Previous experience in working as a Data Scientist for consumer-facing digital product development is strongly preferred.
  • You have strong interpersonal skills and are a great stakeholder manager. You are expert in data visualisation and presentation, and can interpret information into clear actions and strategy.
  • You can tackle loosely defined problems and come up with relevant analytical approaches and impactful insights.
  • You have proficiency with Python, or similar programming languages, experience with Google BigQuery & expertise in SQL.
  • You have hands-on knowledge of A/B testing methodologies and experimentation at scale, including application of this knowledge to digital products.
  • You enjoy sharpening questions and developing hypotheses, and can collaborate with non-Data Scientists to clarify assumptions and influence decisions.
  • You have extensive experience using various analysis techniques, such as linear and logistic regression, significance testing, and statistical modeling.
  • You have a keen interest in using AI tools to support data exploration and analysis, and already have some experience in doing so.

Where You'll Be

  • This role is based in Stockholm or London.
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.

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.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
