alongside PHC Global's data scientists, epidemiologists,
software engineers, front-line disease controllers, and
national security practitioners to turn raw, messy,
real-world data into something the rest of the company can
build on, and you will represent data reliability credibly
when engineering leadership and government partners ask hard
questions about it.
This is a hands-on, build-and-own role for someone who wants
to establish pipeline ownership at a company still setting
the standard for how that gets done. PHC Global is an
AI-forward organization. You will be expected to use AI
agents and modern tooling to operate at a scale traditional
data engineering does not allow, with your judgment
governing every output.
Responsibilities
Pipeline Ownership: Build, deploy, and own
end-to-end data ingestion pipelines (orchestrated via tools
such as Airflow/dbt) that bring new and existing data
sources into Snowflake, Postgres, and Cloud Storage (via
parquet files) reliably and on schedule.
Reliability & Troubleshooting: Diagnose
and resolve data failures such as malformed fields, schema
drift, upstream source changes, serving as the first line
of defense when a pipeline breaks and downstream teams are
counting on the fix.
Data Quality & Integrity: Design and
implement automated data-integrity checks so erroneous data
is caught before it reaches analysts, models, or
client-facing products.
Data Modeling and Design: Design and
maintain clean and reliable schemas and staging layers that
ensure queries run with optimal speed and costs in mind.
Data Ops: Automate data observability and
maintain CI/CD for pipelines, testing, and continuous
monitoring to catch failures before downstream users do.
New Source Onboarding: Support data
acquisition priorities by evaluating, ingesting, and
validating new data sources against PHC Global's
acquisition standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work
directly with data scientists, epidemiologists, and product
engineers to understand what the data needs to support, and
translate that into pipeline design.
Documentation: Maintain clear runbooks and
ingestion documentation so pipelines are understandable to
technical and non-technical members of the team.
Experience & Qualifications
3+ years as a data engineer building and operating
production data pipelines.
Strong SQL and Python, with hands-on experience in a cloud
data warehouse (Snowflake strongly preferred).
Develop and maintain scalable transformation workflows
using SQL and dbt.
Experience with a pipeline orchestration framework (Prefect,
Airflow, Dagster, or similar).
Demonstrated comfort working with messy, inconsistent,
real-world data.
This role requires US citizenship and eligibility for a US
government security clearance.

DATA·Remote·Full-Time, Exempt
Data Scientist
PHC Global is hiring a Data Scientist to turn biodefense and
public-health data into predictive insight and
decision-ready tools. Reporting to Engineering leadership,
you will build and validate models against real
epidemiological, wastewater, and other biothreat data, and
prototype the applied-AI tooling to let a small team analyze
at a scale that traditional data science does not allow.
This is a hybrid data science / applied-AI role for someone
who wants to own analysis end to end — from a messy,
half-documented dataset through a defensible answer — rather
than hand off a clean question to someone else. You will
work alongside PHC Global's data engineers, epidemiologists,
and product engineers, and you should be as comfortable
digging for an answer yourself as briefing it once you have
one.
PHC Global is an AI-forward organization. You will be
expected to use AI agents and modern tooling, with your
judgment governing every output. You will join a diverse
team of epidemiologists, engineers, data scientists,
front-line disease controllers, and national security
practitioners.
Responsibilities
Modeling & Analysis: Design, build,
and validate statistical and machine learning models that
detect and forecast biothreat signals from epidemiological,
wastewater, and other surveillance data.
Applied AI Prototyping: Build and iterate
on AI-driven tools and prototypes using LLMs and modern ML
tooling to accelerate analysis and turn raw data into
decision-ready output.
Insight Translation: Turn model output and
exploratory analysis into clear, defensible findings that
non-technical stakeholders and government partners can act
on.
Rapid Iteration: Move quickly from open
question to tested hypothesis to working model, and stay
productive even when the underlying data is incomplete or
still evolving.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner
with data engineers to get the data pipelines you need, and
with epidemiologists to ground models in real public health
and biodefense expertise.
Documentation & Reproducibility: Keep
analyses reproducible and clearly documented, so findings
can be defended, audited, and handed off.
Experience & Qualifications
2+ years of experience in data science, applied statistics,
or machine learning. Professional experience, research, or
a strong portfolio of independent projects all count.
Strong Python and SQL skills, with hands-on experience
building and validating statistical or machine learning
models.
Demonstrated ability to work through ambiguous, messy,
real-world data and produce a defensible answer without a
lot of hand-holding.
Comfort using modern AI/ML tooling (LLMs, ML frameworks,
agentic workflows) to accelerate analysis.
High ownership and resourcefulness — you dig for the answer
rather than wait to be handed a clean dataset and clear
instructions.
This role requires US citizenship and eligibility for a US
government security clearance.
Nice-to-haves
An active US government security clearance.
Background in epidemiology, public health, or other
biodefense-adjacent data.
An advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a quantitative field — a
plus, not a requirement; we care more about what you can do
with data than the credential.
Experience translating technical findings for non-technical
or government stakeholders.
Fluency using AI tools and agents to accelerate data
science work, with the judgment to validate their output.
