Requirements
- You've spent multiple years in industry using your expertise in (frequentist) biostatistics to design and analyze clinical trials.
- You're deeply familiar with statistical modeling, including interpretation and diagnostics. You pick the right statistical tool for the job and, perhaps most importantly, you know when that tool is not a model.
- You have substantial experience presenting analyses to external audiences of varied backgrounds; you've learned the hard way what does and does not make an understandable and impactful presentation.
- You thrive in a fast-paced, highly customer-facing environment.
- You have experience writing and reviewing code in a shared, version-controlled codebase with multiple contributors and users. You write unit tests and documentation to ensure correctness and usability.
- You're painfully aware that thoughtful data curation is a prerequisite to analysis results that hold up under practical application.
- You love teamwork and recognize that people can achieve more together than individually. You value close collaboration, open communication, and tight feedback loops to ensure you and your team are working together effectively and doing your best work.
- You have excellent written and verbal communication and listening skills.
- You stay calm and organized to meet tight deadlines amidst ambiguity.
- You're familiar with and/or are excited to work with the technologies that power Beacon's data and reporting systems, including Julia, AWS, Superset, Pandoc, SQL, and GraphQL.
- You have exceptional attention to detail and maintain a high standard of quality in your work and output, but you also know when "quick and dirty" is the right approach.
- You're comfortable working in a highly asynchronous hybrid work environment, and have demonstrated success doing so in the past.
