## Job description

We design Spotify’s consumer experience—end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.

Policy & Safety (P&S) is a domain within Content Platform in the Experience Mission, responsible for building Spotify’s content moderation and regulatory compliance infrastructure. This includes rule engines, enforcement pipelines, policy configuration systems, and compliance data platforms that ensure safety at scale.
The team operates at the intersection of backend platform engineering, machine learning systems, and regulatory compliance, partnering closely with Licensing, Trust & Safety, Legal, and Public Affairs. Sitting on the critical path for every new content type and feature, P&S enables safety-by-default experiences while supporting global regulatory

Requirements and evolving product innovation.

Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for

Who You Are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.

At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure our entire recruitment process is accessible to everyone. We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need. If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know - we’re here to support you in any way we can.

**Live in Spotify’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
