Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Content and Catalog Management

What You'll Do

• Own the ML strategy for content and catalog management across six squads. Ensure the platform can support diverse content types, policies, provides data for reporting and auditability and enables the right balance of fast and accurate decisions
• Enhance the ML competence among 40+ engineers, engineering managers and product managers. Provide mentorship on the usage of ML with traditional engineering approaches to use the right solution for the right problem
• Partner with Staff Engineers and Product partners, policy owners and operational teams, to identify and demonstrate ML opportunities. Encourage critical thinking within teams to develop this understanding themselves
• Cultivate strong relationships within the CoCaM Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers and Product Managers and promote the culture of collaboration, openness and inclusion to develop more well-rounded solutions
• Promote experimentation and iteration to encourage more out-of-the-box approaches to engineering problems that we face and balance the need to deliver on the outcomes and goals we’re committed to
• Drive technical decisions and standard methodologies in ML to ensure high-quality and scalable solutions are built by our engineers
• Stay updated with the latest ML advancements and Spotify ML standards and develop a learning environment to continuously improve the team's skills and knowledge

Who You Are

• You have a proven track record of creating, promoting and growing ML strategy for platforms and have used it to deliver horizontal solutions to vertical problems
