As a recipient of the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence, HSS was the first hospital in New York City to receive the distinguished designation. Whether you are early in your career or an expert in your field, you will find HSS an innovative, supportive and inclusive environment.\nWorking with colleagues who love what they do and are deeply committed to our Mission, you too can be part of our transformation across the enterprise.\nEmp Status\nRegular Full timeWork Shift\nDay (United States of America)Compensation Range\nThe base pay scale for this position is $101,500.00 - $172,500.00. In addition, this position will be eligible for additional benefits consistent with the role. The salary of the finalist selected for this role will be determined based on various factors, including but not limited to: scope of role, level of experience, education, accomplishments, internal equity, budget, and subject to Fair Market Value evaluation. The hiring range listed is a good faith determination of potential compensation at the time of this job advertisement and may be modified in the future.What you will be doing\nWhat you’ll do\nFind and frame the right problems. Work with domain experts to identify opportunities, including needs that were never articulated as “data-science requests”. Turn vague questions - “what will demand look like next quarter?”, “why are cases running late?”, or “did this intervention actually help?” - into well-posed problems with explicit assumptions, a decision or workflow they will change, and a credible way to measure impact and value.\n Build data-science-driven products, not artifacts. Deliver advanced analytics and data-science-driven features through applications and real products (not stand-alone notebooks) that clinicians, operators, researchers, finance teams, and executives can rely on and keep using. Own or contribute across design, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, integration, monitoring, and iteration.\nUse the right analytical method for the decision. Apply predictive modeling and forecasting, experimentation and A/B testing, causal or program-effectiveness analysis, segmentation, anomaly detection, risk stratification, and novel measurement where each is appropriate. Challenge weak designs, quantify uncertainty, and know when a simpler method is the better answer.\nPersonally productionize the work. Write maintainable code, integrate models and analytical logic into applications and Databricks workflows, create appropriate evaluation and monitoring, respond to drift or failure, and keep improving the product after launch. We do not throw a notebook over the wall and call the work finished.\nBuild reusable capability. Improve shared approaches for rapid model development, feature and evaluation pipelines, model cards, monitoring, documentation, and reproducibility. Recognize when a method, dataset, feature, or workflow built in one domain can solve a problem elsewhere.\nWork in “garages”. Build collaboratively with domain experts at the hip during daily, synchronous working sessions. Push back, ask questions, change course on new evidence, and explain complex quantitative ideas clearly to clinical, operational, research, finance, and executive audiences.\n Work with AI fluently, but skeptically. Use agentic coding tooling to move fast, with the judgment to know what to delegate and what to think hard on, and the instinct to catch quiet mistakes and implicit assumptions that should be challenged.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g., data science, statistics, computer science, engineering, applied math, economics, operations research, or similar), or equivalent demonstrated technical ability.Master’s or above is preferred but not required for Data Scientist II roles. For all roles, we weigh demonstrated ability over credentials.\n\nStrong data science, statistics, and modeling foundations. The ability to explain and defend modeling and design choices, understand the methods you invoke, spot leakage and confounding, quantify uncertainty, and insist on performance metrics tailored to the problem at hand.\nStrong programming ability and experience (e.g., Python, SQL). Comfort working with git, building within applications, and working in a cloud/lakehouse environment; we use Databricks and AWS.Prior Databricks experience is preferred.\n\nPrior experience working on projects involving large datasets, including the design, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, and monitoring of statistical and machine learning models. Specific experience building data-science-driven features, progressing work from problem ideation and formulation to live app-based product features or decision-support tools that users really used, were monitored, and were iterated on is ideal.Data Scientist I: Generally 0-2 years of professional data science or advanced analytics experience. Strong graduate, internship, fellowship, research, or substantial applied-project work can count. DS I candidates should have exposure to end-to-end production experience or must be ready to learn this quickly.\nData Scientist II: Generally 3-5+ years of professional data science or advanced analytics experience, with a record of independently leading work from problem discovery and formulation through deployment, application integration, monitoring, and iteration. DS II candidates must already have substantial end-to-end production experience.\nExperience in one or more of forecasting, experimentation, causal inference, anomaly detection, risk stratification, optimization, or measurement design.\nExperience with healthcare data, in a US-based healthcare delivery or health-tech setting, especially in musculoskeletal health and orthopedics, is preferred. Other useful domain backgrounds may include operations, finance, economics, research, clinical science, consumer or digital products, or other complex enterprise settings.\n\nStrong experience with modern AI agentic coding tools and techniques. Robust skepticism and the judgment to discern what tasks are best left to AI and what tasks are fundamentally human (framing objectives and goals, verifying work aligns with those). The ability and curiosity to keep up on the latest models, their strengths and weaknesses, and effective strategies for using them.\nHigh intelligence and ability to frame messy problems into structured ones, including exercising judgment about assumptions and unknowns, and what actually matters for a given problem (things that AI cannot do for us).\nFlexibility, communication, collaboration, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to leverage those skills to ramp up quickly in a new environment, work well with domain experts who are not data experts, translate complex concepts for those audiences without being steamrolled, and course correct with new information.\nDrive and vision with a bias toward action and ownership. Having a point of view about where things should go, not just how to execute a direct ask or ticket. DS II candidates particularly should be able to operate autonomously, lead through influence rather than authority, juggle competing priorities, mentor others, and connect work across domains.\nNon-Discrimination Policy\nHospital for Special Surgery is committed to providing high quality care and skilled, compassionate, reliable service to our community in a safe and healing environment.
