## About the role

We are seeking a Principal Data Scientist to join Pedestal Health's Quantitative Sciences (QS) organization. In this role, you will build the infrastructure and methods that make AI-assisted analytics and real-world data quality work fast, scalable, and genuinely trustworthy.

## What they're looking for

- Build, maintain, and improve AI-powered tooling that lets the team generate commercial cohort counts and conduct feasibility reliably and repeatably
- Extend the same approach to other recurring analytic work, including generating and reviewing analysis code, and supporting protocol and analysis plan development
- Gather requirements from the internal teams who depend on these tools, treat them as users, and iterate on real feedback rather than assumed needs
- Scale adoption across the team through documentation, training, onboarding, and hands-on enablement
- Help define the guardrails for AI use in client-facing work: what data may be used, how outputs are reviewed and by whom, and how provenance is recorded
- Rethink how our data quality checks are built and run, so that assessing a new source or a refreshed schema no longer means redoing the work each time
