Join Zaden Technologies on our mission to simplify the delivery and improve the utility of software products for our customers. At Zaden, we believe that our employees are our greatest assets. We hire the right candidates with the right skill sets who fit our culture of customer obsession, innovation, and continuous learning. We are our customer’s biggest advocate and we are looking for like-minded individuals who encompass these same ideals. It is important to us to offer you competitive pay and comprehensive benefits with opportunities that match your life and propel your career! 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.

About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.
