Computer Scientist, Senior
The Opportunity:As an analytics professional, you're excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you're fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). If you care about moving a mission forward as much as advancing the field of data science, this is the opportunity for you. Your deep analytics, data science, AI, and machine learning expertise and consulting mindset, coupled with an original approach to your work, will help clients and stakeholders make sense of their data and encourage actionable results. We're looking for someone like you to lead complex data exploration and analytics projects through your experience with programming languages, operationalizing models, containerization, data architecture, and cloud computing platforms for Intelligence Community missions.
As an advanced data scientist and researcher on our team, you'll learn and apply innovative AI and machine learning methodologies to make a real-world impact on the Intelligence Community. You'll grow your skills in data science, AI, the machine learning operationalization process, and predictive modeling, and shape the future of analytics through a variety of means such as patents, peer-reviewed papers, major conference presentations, and code submissions.
We'll keep you sharp and moving forward in your career, with access to online courses, the latest tools and methods, and opportunities to publish or present at conferences. Whether you're using AI to impact the climate, improving government efficiency or providing better services to the public, or improving veterans' experiences, you'll guide a team that serves critical missions from end to end.
