Job description

Opportunity

As an analytics professional, you're excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and 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 data science expertise coupled with an original approach to your work will help clients and stakeholders make sense of their data and encourage actionable results.

As an advanced data scientist and researcher on our national security team, you'll evaluate AI methodologies to make a real-world impact on AI usage in strategic intelligence. You'll grow your skills in continuous auditing, testing, evaluation, verification, and validation (TEVV), and AI risk mitigation to shape the future of analytics through a variety of means. We'll keep you sharp and moving forward in your career, with access to online courses and opportunities to publish or present at conferences. Whether you're using AI to improve government efficiency or developing new TEVV procedures, you'll guide a team that serves critical missions from end to end.

You Have

• 8+ years of experience correlating complex technical findings into graphical, written, visual, and verbal narrative products
• 5+ years of experience with object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming to build modular and scalable testing libraries
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, including AI/ML validation
• Experience with building automated data input modules, synthetic data generation for testing, and managing high-integrity "Gold Standard" datasets for testing and evaluation
• Experience working on classified networks in support of DoD or IC clients
• Ability to work independently with minimal oversight and direction
• Ability to visualize complex data and concepts for non-technical leadership, highlighting system risks and "go or no-go" criteria clearly
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
• Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of experience with scientific techniques, or 12+ years of experience in lieu of a degree

Nice If You Have

• Experience reviewing and evaluating technical documentation for compliance with applicable standards
• Experience developing and executing TEVV procedures
• Experience evaluating AI system performance, robustness, and fairness
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph

Clearance
