As a Senior Data Scientist working in our Healthcare business, you will work with cross-functional leads to design solutions to help oncologists deliver better care for ~1M cancer patients a year. You will work in a highly ambiguous, impactful, and interesting problem space with a high degree of autonomy. You will synthesize internal and external user feedback to help guide the team’s product roadmap and lead the technical development effort for data products, analytic tools, and algorithms. In addition, you'll also:

• Become a strategic thought partner to product-engineering teams
• Own the development of nascent product ideas into mature production algorithms and products
• Build and own complex data pipelines using SQL, Python, Spark and other data processing tools
• Do this all while mentoring team members and guiding them to tackle bigger and more complex problems

Who You Are

You are an entrepreneurial, customer-focused data scientist, experienced in driving new data capabilities. You are excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves to tackle meaningful problems each and every day. You are a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who seeks and gives candid feedback, and values the chance to make a real impact on people’s lives. 

• You have at least 4 years of relevant working experience in an analytical and technical capacity
• You have led large, cross-functional initiatives and are excellent at bringing data to bear to influence decision-making without authority
• You have collaborated with other technical team members in a production development environment using formal version control and SQL and Python

If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Flatiron.
