# Machine Learning Engineering Manager II

The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Blend 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. At Spotify, great personalization is about more than recommending the right song. It's about creating listening experiences that feel effortless and meaningful while balancing the needs of listeners, creators, and our business. The Samba team, part of Spotify's Personalization Mission, works on multi-objective balancing and sequencing for personalized listening experiences like Autoplay, Radio, and Mixes. Our engineers bring together machine learning, backend engineering, and data engineering to build systems that support Spotify's financial objectives while keeping listeners at the center of what we do. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team, develop our engineers, and help shape the technical direction of systems that influence how millions of people experience Spotify. What Yo
