The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Daily Mix to Discover Weekly, we’re behind some of Spotify’s most-loved features. We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Join us and you’ll keep millions of users listening by making great recommendations to each and every one of them. We ask that our team members be physically located in Central European time or Eastern Standard/Daylight time zones for the purposes of our collaboration hours.

The Voice product area in Personalization builds technologies to unlock Voice experiences across the Spotify ecosystem. As Voice as an input modality grows we see unique opportunities to meet users' needs and create new habits. 

Join us as we build unique and personalized voice driven experiences into the Spotify Android and iOS apps, expand these experiences into new geos, and start to embed personalized ML (like Wakeword, on-device speech recognition, TTS) into the clients.
