About the Role

~1 min read

CDI is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to own the data foundations that power our analytics, reporting, and research workflows. This is a high-leverage role for someone who wants to do meaningful, systems-level work — building the infrastructure, pipelines, and reporting tools that CDI's team and partners rely on every day.

This is not primarily a machine learning, product analytics, or pure research-design role. It sits at the intersection of data infrastructure, reporting systems, and applied evaluation. The right person is a strong hands-on practitioner who takes pride in clean, reproducible, reliable work — and who is excited to grow into new territory alongside the organization.
