As Spotify grows its video catalog, understanding and classifying visual content in our catalog becomes very important to support moderation, search and recommendation use cases. We are a small, cross-functional team of Machine Learning Engineers and Data Engineers leveraging state of the art machine learning solely focused on building and deploying visual understanding models. Delivering the best Spotify experience possible. To as many people as possible. In as many moments as possible. That’s what the Experience team is all about. We use our deep understanding of consumer expectations to enrich the lives of millions of our users all over the world, bringing the music and audio they love to the devices, apps and platforms they use every day. Know what our users want? Join us and help Spotify give it to them. As a Machine Learning Engineer in our Content Understanding teams, you will help define and build ML deployed at scale in support of a broad range of use cases driving value in media and catalog understanding.
