The Subscriptions R&D team oversees the entire user journey on Spotify and ensures we engage with people in innovative ways, every step of the way. Within this team, the Lingo squad builds localized experiences that accelerate our Premium subscriber growth in emerging markets.

  • You solve problems methodically and can investigate issues in complex systems with a positive and proactive attitude
