To unlock the potential of human creativity—by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a Product Manager with a passion for experimentation systems and core configuration infrastructure
- A technical product manager or someone with a background in Data Science or Engineering, who has built platforms, infrastructure, or tooling for experimentation—not just run A/B tests
- You thrive at the intersection of infra, ML, data science, and product
- You have a deep appreciation for the complexity of experimentation at scale, and you think in systems and APIs as much as user flows. You have a passion for building data related products and tooling and understand good systems design
- You care about developer velocity, experimentation velocity, and removing friction from internal workflows by making optimizations to elevate Home’s online and offline evaluation practices
- Experienced in defining product strategy with strong documentation and communication skills
- You communicate with clarity and precision and love turning complex concepts into intuitive solutions
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Product Manager with a passion for experimentation systems and core configuration infrastructure
- You will lead the product vision for critical experimentation infrastructure—tools that enable teams to build, iterate, and evaluate innovations on the Home surface with confidence and scientific rigor
- You’ll help shape the experimentation and tooling strategy for Spotify’s Home page
- You’ll join a team which focuses on making experiment setup simple, intuitive, and reliable
- This is a highly collaborative and technical role that sits at the intersection of experimentation science, developer experience, ML configuration, and Spotify’s core Home surface
- You’ll partner with engineers, data scientists, designers, insights teams, and stakeholders across multiple squads to enable reliable experimentation at scale and support innovative tactics like interleaving, covariates modeling, and simulation-based evaluation. The team is critical
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for internal experimentation infrastructure and tooling supporting Home personalization
- Partner with engineering to evolve frameworks and systems for setting up, executing, and managing experiments, including simulation-based approaches and model validation
- Drive innovation in online evaluation methodologies (e.g. interleaving, covariates modeling) to accelerate trustworthy product iteration
- Collaborate with data science and insights to enhance the observability, transparency, and trustworthiness of experimental outcomes
- Improve the developer experience for running experiments—debugging, configuring personas, and evaluating cross-device behavior
- Champion the team's tools across Spotify by driving adoption, education, and engagement among other PMs, engineers, and data teams
Our take
Spotify was founded in an attempt to combat the rampant music piracy that was causing significant harm to the industry. The company has since taken music streaming mainstream and now has 180m+ paying subscribers across the world.
With features that include a highly accessible interface and a vast catalogue of artists, Spotify's strong brand has been able to maintain growth in spite of fierce competition from deep-pocketed rivals like Amazon and Apple. The company has achieved this by making smart acquisitions to move into other verticals to strengthen its offerings, especially podcasting, by acquiring Gimlet Media, Anchor and Parcast.
Spotify's future plans include rapid growth with a goal to become a one-stop destination for all digital sound, as well as AI and NFT integrations. However, high costs incurred from the acquisition of exclusive podcasts, increasing competitor strength, and weak bottom-line growth mean that the company must find a balance to maintain its position in the sector.
