Spotify is seeking a Data Scientist II to join Product Trust Insights (PTI) within Trust & Safety. PTI accelerates Spotify innovation by providing safety research, risk measurement, and evidence-based recommendations that enable R&D teams to confidently expand into new products, markets, and technologies.
PTI's research informs how Spotify designs, launches, and improves features across the platform, with a particular focus on AI-powered experiences, recommendations, social and messaging surfaces, and the safety needs of younger users.

This role will partner with other Trust & Safety teams to ensure that product and policy decisions are grounded in rigorous evidence. The work spans pre-launch risk assessment, evaluation of AI features and agentic systems, longitudinal safety measurement, and research into how high-risk user populations experience the platform. Trust & Safety's mission is to keep Spotify safe for creators, advertisers, and listeners, and PTI's contribution is the evidence base that makes safer product decisions possible.
