Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data Insights Engineering team and help us accomplish our mission of improving lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. Here’s what you need to know about the role, our team and why Flatiron Health is the right next step in your career.
What You’ll Do
Data Insights Engineering is a diverse and talented team with strong expertise in discovering and understanding customer needs, and rapidly prototyping and iterating on data products. As a Senior Data Scientist on this team, you will work with cross-functional leads to design solutions in a highly ambiguous, impactful, and interesting problem space with a high degree of autonomy. You will synthesize user feedback and data to help guide the team’s product roadmap and lead the technical development effort for data products and analytics tools.
You will be embedded in our Practice Management product, which helps ensure the financial health of community oncology practices and patients. The oncology reimbursement landscape is changing significantly – with shifts from fee-for-service to value-based care payment models, and from independent community clinics to management service organization networks. Our team builds innovative, high-quality software that we combine with Flatiron’s revenue cycle management services for a truly full-stack solution for practices. This has made Practice Management an exciting new revenue driver for Flatiron’s business. You’ll be tasked with a broad spectrum of work ranging from product analytics to prototyping new data products that will drive financial stability for our practices. In addition, you’ll also:
- Immerse yourself in business and technical context to help your team identify opportunities for unlocking new value from our unique data sets
- Rapidly iterate on early stage products where a hybrid skill set of product intuition, customer empathy and technical expertise is essential
- Build and own complex data pipelines using SQL, Python and other data processing tools
- Be responsible for taking nascent product ideas and maturing them into production data products
- Mentor team members and guide 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 excel at influencing decision-making without authority
- You have collaborated with other technical team members in a production development environment using formal version control and SQL, Python, and/or R
- You have a passion for teaching those of various backgrounds and levels of experience and guiding them as they develop their careers
If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in at Flatiron.
