You will partner directly with senior government stakeholders to turn massive, disparate data environments into decisive operational advantages, delivering high-level briefings, interactive data visualizations, and robust analytical solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and design machine learning, statistical analysis, and complex data science projects across multiple workstreams.
- Collaborate directly with internal and external government stakeholders to diagnose system workflows and implement high-impact modernization strategies.
- Architect innovative methodologies to ingest, analyze, and exploit large volumes of law enforcement, intelligence, investigative, and business data.
- Develop custom mathematical models, data structures, algorithms, and specialized software code to optimize enterprise search and data discovery.
- Utilize programming languages such as Python to build production-ready scripts for automated data collection, cleaning, and processing.
- Design, test, and validate data quality frameworks and automated verification pipelines to ensure analytical integrity.
- Coordinate across multi-disciplinary engineering and functional teams to deploy predictive models and evaluate operational impact.
- Analyze multi-source data outputs and deliver clear, actionable recommendations to senior agency leadership.
- Develop intuitive data visualizations, infographics, dashboards, and executive summaries to communicate technical findings to non-technical leaders.
Required Experience/Clearance
- 10 years of experience as a Data Scientist, Data Engineer, or Developer acting as a technical development lead for collecting, cleaning, and analyzing massive datasets to build predictive models.
- 10 years of experience in software development and programming across multiple languages, statistical packages, dataset manipulation tools, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) frameworks.
- 8 years of experience utilizing data systems to acquire, extract, and structure data for research, exploration, and statistical analysis.
- 8 years of experience analyzing, interpreting, and discovering patterns in complex datasets using exploratory data analysis techniques.
- 8 years of experience cleaning, manipulating, munging, and sub-setting large-scale structured and unstructured data.
- 8 years of experience communicating technical findings, risk assessments, and analytical results to non-technical audiences using summary visualizations and tables.
- Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn emerging technologies and operate effectively both independently and in mission-critical team environments.
- Active Top Secret/SCI with CI Poly.
Desired Experience
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from an accredited college or university in Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, Physical Science, or a related quantitative discipline.
- 8 years of experience applying cutting-edge data mining, machine learning, and predictive analytics techniques to correlate disparate events and multi-source datasets.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) expertise, including large-scale document mining and parsing unstructured textual data into structured databases.
- Product-agnostic database and enterprise search administration for large-scale data exploitation.
- Advanced statistical modeling, hypothesis testing, and time-series trend analysis capabilities.
- Demonstrated adaptability and problem-solving skills in resource-constrained environments with limited access to enterprise cloud infrastructure or commercial-scale compute.
- Specialized experience in Geospatial analysis, Computer Vision (CV), or multi-source Sensor Fusion.
