Job Description

Data Scientist, Senior

The Challenge:

Are you excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by the IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open up new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors from fraud detection, to cancer research, to national intelligence you know the answers are in the data.

We have an opportunity for you to use your leadership and analytical skills to improve national intelligence. Youll work closely with your customer to understand their questions and needs, then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. Youll mentor teammates, develop automated data cleaning algorithms and data rescaling algorithms, develop the capability to support both ranges and precise integers within automated data discretization algorithms, develop algorithms or scripts to automate consistent data formatting, natural language processing, and scripts to find and select data and logically aggregate data and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help our customers make informed decisions. Youll provide your customer with a deep understanding of their data, what it all means, and how they can use it. As a technical leader, youll identify new opportunities to use data science solutions to help your customers meet their toughest challenges. Join us as we use data science for good in national intelligence.
