Job Description

Reimagine the infrastructure of cancer care within a technology and science community that values integrity, inspires growth, and is uniquely positioned to create a more modern, connected oncology ecosystem. 

We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data Insights team to help us accomplish our mission to improve lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. Are you ready to be the next changemaker in cancer care?

What You'll Do

Data Insights is a diverse and talented team with strong expertise in discovering, prototyping and launching new data products. As a Senior Data Scientist on this team, you will define data strategy, drive technical execution, and help us create the next generation of our real-world evidence data products.

Over the past few years, Flatiron has invested in building a database of real world radiology imaging data to enhance our existing Real World Evidence data sources. We are extremely excited by the depth of information that radiology imaging provides for oncology research, particularly when combined with Flatiron’s other data sources. As a Senior Data Scientist on this team, your analysis will support all aspects of the product, from use case prioritization and process improvements to model development. In this role you may:

• Analyze data in order to identify and prototype ways to scale the de-identification of image data and metadata
• Develop methods to extract quantified imaging features and standardize data from diverse data sources
• Prototype radiomics and deep learning techniques to build clinically relevant machine learning models that can be used in oncology research and patient care 

In addition, you will be fully embedded in a cross-functional team which is working to create the long term scientific vision for how radiology imaging and ML can accelerate Real World Evidence research. As part of this team, you will 

• Interface with external life science partners to understand what data they need to conduct high quality research, and advise on the usage of Flatiron data and ML methods
• Immerse yourself in the technical and clinical contexts that inform how health information is documented at the point of care
• Rapidly iterate on early stage products where a hybrid skill set of product intuition, customer empathy and technical expertise is essential

Ultimately, your work will empower our Life Science customers and academic partners to do higher quality research with real-world data.

Who You Are

You're a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who values the opportunity to think beyond the way things are. In addition, you are an entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, full stack data scientist, experienced in taking nascent product ideas and maturing them into production data products. You're excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves and digging into practice financial data. 

• You have 3+ years of relevant working experience in a technical capacity.
• You have a strong background in applying ML to solve real-world problems.
• You have collaborated with other technical team members in a production development environment using formal version control, Python, and SQL.
• You have led cross-functional initiatives and excel at influencing decision-making without authority.
• You are value-oriented and practical in how you apply data to problems, and are excited to translate new research innovations into products and see them come to life outside of a publication

Extra Credit:

• You have experience with computer vision 
• You have ML experience in a healthcare setting
• You have experience working with medical imaging data
