The Rewards team in Personalization (PZN) is defining the next generation of large-scale personalization at Spotify by pioneering novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods for Large Language Models (LLMs). We drive massive impact across all recommendations discovery surfaces by moving beyond simple clicks to model and optimize for true long-term user satisfaction. Our core mission is to bridge discovery with lasting listening habits by developing and deploying sophisticated, mid-term behavioral reward signals—such as retention and habit formation metrics—that directly shape the LLM-powered recommendation experience.
We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to make impactful changes to our recommendations and discovery algorithms. As an integral part of the squad, you will collaborate with research scientists, data scientists, and other engineers across PZN in prototyping and productizing state-of-the-art ML at the intersection of recommendations and long-term user satisfaction.
