Job description
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.

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.
Role Responsibilities:
Design and run baseline captures on legacy applications (outputs, timing, resource envelopes) and replay-based comparisons against modernized builds
Build automated analysis pipelines that diff telemetry and generate per-application, per-release performance and regression reports
Define the metrics, acceptance thresholds, and evidence standards used to accept each migrated application
Present independent findings to program leadership and stakeholders with clear, defensible data
Mentor supporting data engineers and test automation engineers as the analysis team grows
Required Qualifications:
Active TS/SCI clearance, or current TS/SCI eligibility, and U.S. citizenship
7+ years in data science, quantitative analysis, or test and evaluation for complex software or mission systems
Strong Python and data engineering skills (pandas or similar, SQL, data pipelines) and statistics fundamentals
Experience analyzing system or software performance data (latency, throughput, resource utilization) and automating that analysis
Ability to work independently as a trusted verification voice on a multi-company team
Preferred Qualifications:
IV&V, independent assessment, or test and evaluation background on DoD programs
Experience with containerized environments and CI/CD-produced builds
Physics, signal processing, or sensor data background
What we offer:
Robust startup environment with a variety of projects to work on
Growth paths and endless opportunities to learn and develop
Paid holidays and flexible paid time off
Employer contributions toward 401k
50% coverage of health insurance for employees and their dependents
The pay range for this role is:
140,000 - 175,000 USD per year (Zaden Technologies - Denver)
