We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Content Platform Insights team. Content Platform is a central enabler for the Spotify business. We deliver a complete, available and enriched catalog of music, podcasts, videos and more. We provide the knowledge graph that accumulates differentiated understandings of creators, content, their attributes and their relationships. We ensure we can readily moderate and control the catalog to ensure a safe and trusted experience for consumers and to keep our platform free of infringement.

The successful candidate will join The Cherry PI squad, which focuses on understanding the composition, growth, cost and value of our music, podcast and audiobook catalogues. We partner with the engineering teams who build, maintain and extend those catalogues to explore opportunities and risks, assess performance and set goals.

What You’ll Do

• Identify low-value music and podcast content.
• Quantify the financial impact of errors by music vs. noise categorization systems.
• Explore the drivers of music and music video ingestion speed.
• Model which of our tracks are ‘background music’ or designed for children.

Who You Are

• Degree in data science, computer science, statistics, economics, mathematics, or a similar quantitative field.
• Coding skills (such as Python, R or similar), with a working knowledge of SQL.
• Experience with data visualization tools (such as Tableau, Looker, Qlik Sense, matplotlib, ggplot2 or similar).
• Ambitious person who’s capable of tackling loosely defined problems and driving strategic impact.
• Ability to explain complex topics in simple terms, for audiences with different levels of technical knowledge.

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. We ask that you come in 3 times per week.
