2026 Summer Internship, Machine Learning Engineering

This is a full-time, in-person internship typically lasting 10-12 weeks over the summer period. Specifics on location (e.g., London office) would need to be confirmed by Spotify, but general Spotify internships are often based in their European hubs.

Spotify internships are generally paid competitively, covering living expenses during the program.

Typically, applicants should be enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, and be returning to their studies after the internship. Strong programming skills and an interest in machine learning are usually required. Work authorisation for the UK may be required.

The application process usually involves an initial online application (CV, potentially cover letter), followed by technical assessments and virtual interviews (technical and behavioural).

Spotify's internships are highly competitive, attracting a large number of applications from students globally. Cohort sizes vary by department and year.

An internship at Spotify provides invaluable experience working on large-scale, impactful projects for a globally recognized technology company. It enhances a student's technical skills, expands their professional network, and demonstrates their ability to contribute to a leading tech environment.
