• Build and support an annotation application that allows moderators to flag sensitive podcast content, enabling trust and safety at scale.

• Deliver UX optimizations that improve ad and content review efficiency and effectiveness.

• Develop interfaces that allow advertisers and internal users to interact with AI-powered creative and categorization systems.

• Collaborate with engineering squads across Spotify to provide high-quality data solutions, shared knowledge, and best practices.
