[Hiring] Senior Data Scientist @The Harbor Health Team

Role Description

Harbor Health runs both a health plan and a medical group, so data science here sits where cost, risk and care meet. We are hiring Senior Data Scientists to own whole problem areas, not slices of someone else's project: you define the questions that matter, build the analysis or model, put it in front of the people who act on it, and stay with it until the result is in use.

Right now those problem areas are risk adjustment and claims: how sick our members really are, and what is driving the cost of their care. Neither is solved yet, and both move real money.

Qualifications

• A drive toward complex problems with messy data, disputed definitions, and no playbook.
• High ownership of your own work, from question to data, method, validation, and hand-off.
• Fluency with AI agentic development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
• Cross-functional partnership with stakeholders in business, product, and tech.
• Typically 5+ years of hands-on data science, applied statistics or quantitative modeling.
• Sound statistical judgment and the ability to size what your work changes.
• A bachelor's degree in a quantitative field or equivalent experience; an advanced degree is a plus.

Requirements

• Take vague questions from actuarial, finance, operations or clinical leaders and turn them into defined problems.
• Build the data your work depends on: tables, pipelines and definitions in SQL, Python and dbt.
• Answer questions using appropriate methods, from careful analysis to predictive models.
• Put results in front of stakeholders as dashboards, work lists, or recommendations.
• Own the accuracy, documentation, and usage of what you ship.
• Explain tradeoffs in plain language to both technical and non-technical people.
• Use AI efficiently and responsibly, sharing effective practices with the team.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental and vision benefits.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Generous PTO and paid holidays.
• Professional development and growth opportunities.
