Zaden Technologies is hiring a Senior Data Scientist / Analysis Lead to lead the independent analysis function on a ground data processing modernization effort supporting a national security space mission. As legacy applications move from bare-metal systems into a modern on-prem cloud environment, you'll prove — with data — that each modernized application does no harm, validating performance, timing, and output equivalence against the legacy baseline. Rather than a manual test bench, you'll build this proof as an automated, repeatable capability. This is a full-time, on-site position in Aurora, CO, with an anticipated start of January 2027.
Role Responsibilities:
- Design and run baseline captures on legacy applications (outputs, timing, resource envelopes) and replay-based comparisons against modernized builds
- Build automated analysis pipelines that diff telemetry and generate per-application, per-release performance and regression reports
- Define the metrics, acceptance thresholds, and evidence standards used to accept each migrated application
- Present independent findings to program leadership and stakeholders with clear, defensible data
- Mentor supporting data engineers and test automation engineers as the analysis team grows
Required Qualifications:
- Active TS/SCI clearance, or current TS/SCI eligibility, and U.S. citizenship
- 7+ years in data science, quantitative analysis, or test and evaluation for complex software or mission systems
- Strong Python and data engineering skills (pandas or similar, SQL, data pipelines) and statistics fundamentals
- Experience analyzing system or software performance data (latency, throughput, resource utilization) and automating that analysis
- Ability to work independently as a trusted verification voice on a multi-company team
Preferred Qualifications:
- IV&V, independent assessment, or test and evaluation background on DoD programs
- Experience with containerized environments and CI/CD-produced builds
- Physics, signal processing, or sensor data background
What we offer:
- Robust startup environment with a variety of projects to work on
- Growth paths and endless opportunities to learn and develop
- Paid holidays and flexible paid time off
- Employer contributions toward 401k
- 50% coverage of health insurance for employees and their dependents
