The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  TechForward is hiring a Data Scientist in Bloomington, IN.

• Role description

  Come build the backend that powers our mission-driven products, writing Natural Language Processing that holds up under serious load. Consider the trade: your 1 years of Looker for $46,000 - $69,000, a temporary schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
  • Decide when to buy Deep Learning versus build it for TechForward's Bloomington, IN stack
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Refactor the technology module TechForward has been afraid to touch
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across IN engineering teams
  • Defend TechForward uptime through the 2 a.m. Bloomington pages nobody volunteers for

  What You'll Bring

  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
  • Willingness to commute to Bloomington, IN or work flexibly as needed
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
  • Proven track record delivering results as a junior Data Scientist

  Built in Bloomington and run on caffeine and conviction, TechForward turns messy technology problems into clean, repeatable wins. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on SQL and Project Management, not bureaucracy.

  Picture $46,000 - $69,000 as the floor, not the ceiling, with growth coaching and a benefits package that actually flexes around your life.

  The posting clock reset today, so the Data Scientist window is wide open.

  Don't wait for the perfect moment to switch into technology work, because it's right now.
