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. 

Flatiron has built the most advanced real-world evidence platform in oncology.  We are now in a position to use our data to uniquely inform clinical trial design to realize more efficiency and inclusiveness in clinical trials.  You will be one of the founding members of our Real-World Data for Trials team, working closely with study sponsors and cross-functional teams at Flatiron to identify opportunities for our data to address major issues like increasing racial diversity, more efficient long term follow up and reducing patient / site burden in clinical trials.  You will build prototypes and iterate based on user feedback with the goal of bridging the gap between clinical trials and real world practice, resulting in more inclusive and efficient trial designs.  In addition, you'll also:

• Interface with external life science partners to understand what data they need to conduct high quality research
• 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
• Be responsible for taking nascent product ideas and maturing them into production data products

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 worked with open source data science tools and languages (Python/R)
• You have experience in a broad spectrum of data science/analytical techniques and are excited to apply them to solve complex clinical or business problems

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