Principal responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

  • Lead the end-to-end development, implementation, and ongoing refinement of advanced data science and machine learning solutions that address high-priority IT Call Center operational challenges and performance improvement opportunities, including predictive call volume forecasting, SLA risk prediction, agent performance modeling, and customer satisfaction analytics.
  • Collaborate with program leadership, data analysts, and the AWS AI Practitioner to identify, prioritize, and scope data science use cases that deliver the highest operational value for the IT Call Center program and government customer.
  • Design and execute comprehensive data acquisition, cleaning, transformation, and feature engineering pipelines that prepare raw call center operational data from multiple sources for advanced analytical and machine learning modeling purposes.
  • Develop, train, validate, and deploy supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning models using industry-leading machine learning frameworks and AWS AI and ML platform services, ensuring all models meet defined performance, accuracy, and reliability standards prior to operational deployment.
  • Design and implement natural language processing (NLP) and text analytics solutions that analyze call transcripts, ticket notes, chat logs, and customer feedback data to identify sentiment trends, topic clusters, emerging issues, and customer experience improvement opportunities.
  • Develop and maintain predictive analytics models that leverage historical and real-time call center operational data to forecast call volumes, predict staffing requirements, identify at-risk SLA performance periods, and support proactive operational decision making.
  • Partner with the AWS AI Practitioner and AWS Solutions Architect to design and implement scalable, cloud-native data science solution architectures on AWS, leveraging Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Glue, and related AWS data and AI services.
  • Develop and maintain robust MLOps pipelines and practices including model versioning, automated retraining workflows, continuous integration and delivery for ML models, and comprehensive model performance monitoring and drift detection frameworks.
  • Design and develop advanced data visualizations, analytical reports, and executive-level briefing materials that communicate complex data science findings and model outputs clearly and compellingly to non-technical program leadership and government stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with data analysts to ensure data science outputs are integrated effectively into operational reporting frameworks, performance dashboards, and decision support tools used by program leadership and call center operations staff.
  • Conduct rigorous model performance assessments, A/B testing, and experimental design analyses to evaluate the operational impact of deployed data science solutions and inform continuous model improvement activities.
  • Ensure all data science solution development and deployment activities comply with applicable federal security requirements, data privacy regulations, responsible AI governance standards, AWS GovCloud policies, and FedRAMP authorization requirements.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and subject matter expertise to data analysts and junior technical team members on data science methodologies, machine learning concepts, statistical analysis techniques, and AWS AI and ML service capabilities.
