What Impact You'll Have
Our team is charged with taking commercial and academic innovation high-side, in domains of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI / ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP). We also bring the best ideas, tools, and approaches in technology infrastructure (AWS, DevOps, etc.) to the IC. The tech stack used is extremely broad - anything cutting edge in the commercial market, the open source community, or the academic research community is likely involved: and if something isn't being looked at yet, you can make that happen.
This effort supports ALL missions of the Intelligence Community, including cyber-related data science missions. A seamless group of contractor and customer personnel work to create innovations that supply customer groups with the data sets, models, algorithms, software, and infrastructure they need to increase their mission success. Management is hands off, gives the team the freedom to explore new approaches, and markets the best ideas and results to all the other IC customers.
This project regularly needs various types of people - Data Scientists, Data / ETL Engineers, Analytic Software Engineers, Full Stack Developers, UI/UX Developers, and AWS/DevOps experts. We're particularly interested in people with any of the following experience:
Work on this program takes place throughout the Reston/Herndon/Chantilly, VA area (we cannot support remote work) and requires a TS/SCI + Poly clearance (acceptable to this customer).
