Data Scientist
Spotify

Dr. Joshua D. Hayes is a social scientist, engineer, and classically trained research methodologist. He joined Spotify as a Data Scientist in July of 2021. He has led dozens of projects, both software products and high-stakes analyses, utilized internationally by major music labels and multi-billion dollar MedTech companies. He brings a unique perspective to big data analytics as he earned his PhD in Sociology from University of California, Davis and a Master’s in Religious Studies from Stanford University. He specializes in translating fuzzy, real-world interests into concrete, explicit questions that can then be directly connected to data structures and algorithms. Josh is never happier than when he is in a corner booth listening to live music from passionate artists.
