Description
Spotify is seeking an experienced Data Scientist II to join our Trust & Safety Insights (TSI) team. TSI’s mission aims to foster a secure, inclusive, and safe platform through evidence-based interventions driven by strategic data and research science efforts.
TSI proactively identifies, analyzes, and mitigates risks to Spotify and opportunities for the wider T&S organization. Our work empowers teams across Spotify to make product and policy decisions that promote creators’ opportunity to live off their art and fans’ opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it in a safe, equitable manner. This role will partner with other T&S teams to ensure product teams have the data and insights to enable faster, wider, and safer innovation. This includes measurement to inform product and market launches, foundational research to understand risks in emerging technologies, and product interventions to promote safety. We aim to help Spotify teams innovate responsible and identify opportunities to create safer experiences throughout the entirety of the product life cycle.
What You’ll Do
- Deliver in-depth qualitative and quantitative research insights to inform high-impact, high-priority, and challenging problem spaces related to safety
- Develop custom longitudinal metrics for trust and safety, implement them, and demonstrate their efficacy
- Scope and execute other measurement and intervention projects that support T&S advocacy to R&D
- Effectively manage and prioritize research plans through ambiguous and fast-changing environments
- Leverage existing data to better unlock products by anticipating safety needs, studying potential/existing dynamics, and delivering outcomes to address trust/safety concerns
- Transform complex research data into intuitive, visually compelling, and actionable insights that influence decisions
- Significant cross-functional collaboration is expected. Your role will deeply influence the way that insights and data are operationalized and productionized at Spotify. You will work with a variety of teams, including product teams, policy stakeholders, researchers, data scientists, insights leaders, and engineers.
Who You Are
- You have 4+ years of work experience leading high-profile projects that aim to solve analytical problems using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods
- You are skilled in the necessary analysis tools (SQL, R, Python) and have experience bridging the gap between quantitative and qualitative data streams.
- You are comfortable with planning, prioritizing, conducting, analyzing and communicating research including leading research streams in a 'Zero to One' space.
- You are a self-driven team player with a strong sense of ownership and an ability to design and lead research projects independently
- You can educate and communicate convincingly, both to less experienced audiences as well as very experienced decision makers.
- You deeply care about the translation of abstract research, or high-level calls to action into concrete methods, and practice. You are comfortable making concrete recommendations to teams, on the basis of solid research.
- You are passionate about solving problems in the domain of trust & safety with direct product application
- You have validated expertise within responsible product innovation
Where You’ll Be
- Onsite: New York
- Working hours? We operate within the Eastern Standard Time zone for collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
