POSITION SUMMARY
The Senior Data Scientist works with a fast-paced, cross-functional, agile team that is creating a new data and analytics platform that will allow us to better build new analytic functionality and perform client analyses at scale. The Senior Data Scientist will be involved in the full spectrum of analytic development: evaluating data to ensure it can support proposed methods, defining and prototyping algorithms, building predictive models, and conducting analytic testing of the implementation of algorithms/models in our data and analytics platform. Initial work will focus on analytics for pharmacy claims data. Over time, additional data sources will be added to the platform.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on analyst who enjoys both the detailed work involved in algorithm/model development but who can also abstract this work to the goal of building a scalable platform. This position is US-based with a preferred location in our NYC headquarters or the Boston-DC corridor.
