Data Scientist – Data Mapping & Architecture Support

ECS is seeking a Data Scientist to work remotely.

This role bridges data science and data architecture. The person will map data sources and relationships, build and maintain a company-wide data dictionary, and support the Enterprise Architect in applying policy, standards, and business logic to the overall data framework.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Mapping
   Identify, trace, and document how data flows across systems — from source to destination — including transformations, dependencies, and ownership.
2. Data Dictionary Development
   Build and maintain a comprehensive data dictionary defining every field, its meaning, format, source, and business context, so teams have one consistent reference.
3. Architecture Support
   Work closely with the Enterprise Architect to translate data mapping and dictionary findings into the technical architecture, ensuring data models reflect real business logic and policy requirements.
4. Data Quality & Standards
   Analyze data for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. Flag gaps or conflicts between systems and recommend standardization.
5. Business Logic Validation
   Partner with business stakeholders (HR, Finance, Operations, etc.) to confirm that documented business rules match how data is actually defined and used.
6. Governance Collaboration
   Support data governance efforts by aligning the data dictionary and mapping work with company policy, compliance needs, and access control requirements.
7. Documentation & Reporting
   Create clear, maintainable documentation (data lineage diagrams, dictionary entries, mapping reports) that both technical and non-technical teams can use.

Salary Range: $120,000 - $130,000
