• 4-6 years hands-on experience with R, RStudio, and Shiny application development, including production-grade interactive tools.
• 1+ year informally mentoring data scientists.

Preferred

• Deep experience with responsible-AI evaluation in a pediatric/clinical setting.
• Experience with fine-tuning or advanced RAG/agentic architectures.
• Experience running analyses in an HPC or research-computing environment for large-scale or computing intensive studies.
• Established working relationships with Research PIs, including study-design or analysis-planning input.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Advanced expertise in statistics, ML, and data mining; independently designs model architectures and evaluation frameworks.
• Advanced expertise in R and RStudio; independently designs and architects production-grade Shiny applications.
• Deep understanding of generative AI/LLM architecture; independently designs RAG/agentic solutions for high-stakes clinical/operational use cases.
• Deep understanding of HPC/research-computing workflows; independently determines when compute-intensive work warrants HPC resources.
• Independently designs bias/safety evaluation frameworks, with rigorous scrutiny for pediatric populations.
• Mentors mid-level and junior data scientists on modeling, R/Shiny best practices, and responsible-AI practices.
• Occasionally presents technical work to cross-functional groups of 5-10 people.
