Tech7 is seeking a versatile, highly collaborative
Data Scientist to support both mission-critical technical research and development (R&D) and corporate pricing objectives. This unique role is expected to be split evenly (50/50) between technical data science development within an Agile/DevOps environment and quantitative pricing strategy/cost modeling for Federal Government bids. The role will initially be focused on pricing activities and then transition to more data science activities in the future, with the goal being a 50/50 balance, but flexibility is key to the success of this position.
The ideal candidate bridges quantitative problem-solving and business strategy, applying analytical rigor to national security data challenges as well as strategic capture and proposal efforts
This role is hybrid located in Boulder, Co.
