“Think it, build it, ship it, tweak it” is at the core of Spotify’s development approach, and in Experimentation, we are providing to Spotify teams the platform and the best practices to do exactly this: quickly and safely iterate through ideas, learn from them and make informed decisions for better products.
Join a multidisciplinary team of engineers and data scientists that share a common passion for bringing scientific experimentation methods to the daily toolbox of every Spotify team. Some day-to-day tasks include ensuring efficient and unbiased assignments of the over 300 million users into experiments, scheduling and coordination of thousands of concurrent experiments, and implementing statistical analysis methodologies to offer insights and shipment recommendations to experiment owners.
