Job Description

A bit about this role:

As a Principal Data Scientist, you will serve as a senior analytical partner embedded within one of the most complex operational systems at Devoted: how we make and measure claim decisions at scale.

You will work across Claims, Product, Engineering, and Operations to define ambiguous problems, determine what “good” looks like, and design the data systems that help us get there. This includes shaping how we measure decision quality, operational performance, payment accuracy, and provider experience across the full lifecycle of a claim.

You will combine deep technical skill, structured problem solving, and cross-functional partnership to turn messy operational challenges into clear, measurable, scalable solutions.

We are eager to find problem-solvers who iterate quickly, embrace ambiguity, and are deeply committed to our mission. You care about building strong technical foundations that enable real impact for our members and colleagues. You’re excited by the evolving AI landscape, but grounded in fundamentals, treating AI and LLMs as powerful tools to accelerate problem-solving, not a replacement for clear thinking or strong data models.

In this role, you will:

• Frame ambiguous problems, define what success looks like, and translate business challenges into measurable analytical strategies.

• Own and evolve scalable data models, pipelines, and core metrics that serve as the long-term foundations for claim decision quality and operational performance.

• Build and iterate on analytical and modeling solutions, shipping quickly, learning from real-world feedback, and refining systems to drive measurable impact.

• Leverage emerging ML/AI tools thoughtfully, integrating them into production workflows where they add leverage, grounded in strong data fundamentals and clear business outcomes.

What makes someone successful here:

• You have deep experience partnering with stakeholders across an organization to solve complex problems

• You are comfortable defining both the question and the measurement approach

• You can move fluidly between SQL, modeling, experimentation, and strategic conversations

• You enjoy building durable systems, not just running one-off analyses

• You are coachable, collaborative, and excited by hard problems

Required skills and experience:

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment that values quick iteration

• 7+ years of individual technical contributor experience

• Strong SQL and experience working in modern data ecosystems (Snowflake, dbt, Python, Looker or similar)

• Skilled at collaborating with cross-functional teams and influencing decisions with data-driven insights

• Comfort building scalable, maintainable data pipelines and performing deep statistical analysis, predictive modeling, or experimental design to drive business strategy.

Desired skills and experience:

• Experience in healthcare, insurance, fintech, or other complex operational domains

• Familiarity with claims data or regulated environments

• Comfort performing live analysis or collaborative debugging with stakeholders

• Experience incorporating ML or AI tools into operational workflows
