Associate Director of Data and Modeling

<div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma';">(ID: 2026-3404) <p>Axle Informatics is a bioscience and information technology company committed to accelerating biomedical discovery through data science, software engineering, scientific computing, and research technology. We work alongside scientists and federal health partners to solve complex technical problems, create durable research infrastructure, and make advanced computational methods more accessible to the people who can use them to advance science.</p> <p>We believe the best technical organizations combine curiosity with discipline. They make room for experimentation, but they also finish what they start. They build systems that others can understand and sustain. They share knowledge, invest in people, and measure success by what their work enables the research community to accomplish.</p> <p>If building that kind of organization, and helping it solve some of the most difficult data and computational challenges in biomedical research, excites you as much as it excites us, we would love to talk.</p> </div> <div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma';"> <p><strong>Benefits We Offer:</strong></p> <ul> <li>100% Medical, Dental & Vision Coverage for Employees</li> <li>Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays</li> <li>401K match up to 5%</li> <li>Educational Benefits for Career Growth</li> <li>Employee Referral Bonus</li> <li>Flexible Spending Accounts: <ul> <li>Healthcare (FSA)</li> <li>Parking Reimbursement Account (PRK)</li> <li>Dependent Care Assistant Program (DCAP)</li> <li>Transportation Reimbursement Account (TRN)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="ck-content" style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;" data-wrapper="true"> <h2 style="font-weight: normal; margin: 8pt 0in 4pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Position Overview</strong></span></h2> <p class="FirstParagraph" style="margin: 9pt 0in;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">Axle Informatics is excited to open the search for an Associate Director of Data and Modeling to help shape the next generation of data-intensive biomedical research. This role will lead teams working across data engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, scientific computing, and modeling and simulation to build capabilities that make complex research data more useful, reproducible, and actionable.</span></p> <p style="margin: 9pt 0in;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">The goals this position fills are ambitious; turn difficult scientific and technical problems into durable systems, create the conditions for highly technical teams to do their best work, and ensure that promising ideas become reliable capabilities that researchers can trust.</span></p> <p style="margin: 9pt 0in;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">This is not a role for someone who has only advised technical teams from a distance. The Associate Director must bring the judgment that comes from having personally designed, built, deployed, and operated complex data, software, AI/ML, or scientific computing systems. You will be expected to engage deeply enough to recognize weak assumptions, ask the questions that change a design, help teams resolve difficult technical tradeoffs, and know when an experimental approach is ready to become part of a production environment.</span></p> <p style="margin: 9pt 0in;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">At the same time, the role is larger than any single architecture, model, or pla
