We’re looking for a Data Scientist with an unwavering passion for designing meaningful, easy-to-use applications. Most of the work we do is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)—in this position, you and your team will collaborate with federal partners to streamline reporting processes and enhance operational efficiency.
At Flexion (an agile software company that’s been delivering excellence for over 25 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain self-sufficient and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems through collaboration—this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles as needed. Every member of a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team’s success, mirroring the company’s overall low-bureaucracy structure.
We believe that growth comes from working together—and that includes supporting each other through thoughtful, constructive feedback. Flexion team members are expected to help each other grow, challenge ideas respectfully, and integrate feedback as a normal part of the workday.
What the job looks like:
You’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile application development team tasked with maintaining and improving a Data Warehouse to streamline reporting.
Work in an agile environment, contributing to incremental delivery and continuous improvement
Serve as the primary responsive point of contact for triaging data requests that require additional work or quick answers for Login.gov.
Collaborate with DevSecOps and Data Engineers to ensure data pipelines support analytical and modeling needs.
Partner with product owners and stakeholders to define analytical questions and translate them into data-driven solutions
Integrate, transform, and analyze data to produce accurate dimensional models and efficient transformations for consistent reporting and analysis.
Develop and validate models (e.g., regression, classification) to meet reporting needs and generate predictive insights
Apply statistical methods and data science techniques to evaluate system performance and inform decision-making
Apply machine learning techniques to detect anomalies and identify fraudulent patterns in data.
Design metrics, experiments, and analytical approaches to measure outcomes, find anomalies, uncover trends, and produce actionable insights.
Communicate findings clearly to stakeholders through regular demos, visualizations, presentations, and written summaries
Tackle a wide variety of analytical and technical problems and exercise your full tool-belt of skills
You can deliver in small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive (instead of viewing it as “rework”) and never consider anything you deliver “final.” Although you understand that what you deliver may not be complete, you never knowingly deliver something that is wrong or of poor quality. You actively contribute to a learning team culture, offering and receiving feedback with curiosity and respect.
You have:
15+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or a related field
A bachelor’s degree (or higher) in a quantitative field (e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, data science)
Self-motivated with strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain complex analyses to non-technical audiences.
Experience using Python for data analysis and modeling, with familiarity with data transformation tools such as dbt
Experience working with data warehouses and cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Redshift and Databricks a plus)
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to derive insights from ambiguous and imperfect data
Advanced SQL skills and experience working with large datasets that need efficient transformations to support operational reporting
Experience applying statistical methods and building analytical or predictive models (e.g., regression, classification, clustering)
Experience working in agile environments
Experience working in Data Governance and privacy-related projects
Nice to have (optional to include):
Experience with data visualization tools or libraries, such as Amazon QuickSuite
Experience working with government or regulated data environments
Experience with a basic knowledge of Ruby, since it is used at Login for reporting.
Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
Offer and welcome constructive feedback as a tool for continuous team and individual growth
Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
Embrace AI assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, Notebook) as force multipliers to accelerate innovation, iterate faster, and maintain high-quality output.
