  • Build and optimize Python-based data pipelines leveraging libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, seaborn, and Plotly.
  • Work with diverse data formats (CSV, JSON, XML, Excel, etc.) and integrate across relational (Postgres, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Accumulo) databases
  • Apply advanced data mining, statistical modeling, graph algorithms, and machine learning to extract insights from large structured and unstructured datasets
  • Mentor junior data scientists and analysts, fostering best practices in statistical rigor, code quality, and reproducibility

Required skills/experience areas include:

  • Python expertise (primary language) with demonstrated use of data science and machine learning libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch or TensorFlow)
  • Strong skills in data visualization and BI tools: Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, or equivalent
  • Proficiency in SQL and experience with NoSQL databases
  • Solid foundation in probability, statistics, and applied machine learning techniques
  • Experience with data pipelines, APIs, and distributed systems in a production environment
  • Familiarity with cloud-native and containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes) and associated observability stacks
  • Hands-on experience with configuration management and version control tools (e.g., Git, GitLab/GitHub, Atlassian suite)
  • Active Top Secret DoD Clearance
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills—able to brief senior leadership and mission partners
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects
  • Collaborative mindset with demonstrated ability to lead technical discussions and mentor peers
  • Customer-focused, adaptable, and effective in interfacing with both corporate and government stakeholders
  • Exceptional technical writing skills for producing plans, reports, and documentation

Preferred skills/experience areas include:

  • Direct experience with DoD or Intelligence Community data, including but not limited to SIGINT, GEOINT, MASINT, or Multi-INT fusion
  • Understanding of mission needs in defense, national security, or intelligence analysis
  • Active TS/SCI DoD clearance highly preferred
