Job description

Some problems don’t need more data, they need clarity. At the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Office of Eurasia, leadership is routinely asked to prioritize, assess risk, and allocate resources against complex and evolving challenges. The GEOINT data behind those decisions is rich but is not always structured to answer the question being asked. It may be binary in one place, tiered in another, legacy in a third. It may have been built for a different requirement at a different time.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us as a Geospatial Data Scientist to support NGA and bring structure, transparency, and defensibility to complex analytic problems! Looking for your expertise to design, refine, and operationalize analytic models that bring consistency and transparency to mission analysis. From structing complex GEOINT attributes into measurable, defensible scoring frameworks, to replacing manual or legacy analytic processes with automated, repeatable workflows. You’ll work directly with analysts and branch leadership to ensure models reflect real mission needs and ensure transparency. Tradecraft integrity and methodological rigor in every product. If you’re passionate about bringing structure where there is inconsistency, and clarity where there are interpretations, join XTS today!

Requirements

• Current active Top Secret / SCI clearance with the ability to obtain CI poly.
• You have achieved a Master’s degree + 5 years / Bachelor’s degree + 7 years / Associate’s degree + 8 years / 10+ years of relevant experience
• You have gained strong proficiency in Python and SQL to support in extracting, transforming, and structuring large, complex datasets.
• Familiarity with ArcGIS or similar geospatial tools to assist in model integration effectively with existing analytic platforms.
• Experience automating workflows and building dashboards to ensure repeatability.
• Understanding of GEOINT standards and tradecraft to ensure analytic integrity and confidence in outputs.
• Experience building defensible analytic models in order to articulate how inputs become outputs and ensure the scoring logic can withstand scrutiny.

If you are motivated by applying technical expertise to real operational challenges, and building system systems that improve how decisions are made, please send your resume directly to Lanchi Lai at [e-mail]
