Data Scientist

Input Technology Solutions is seeking a Data Scientist to join our team in Hampton, VA!

As a data scientist, you're joining a team dedicated to empowering decision-makers through data science, machine learning, and semantic technologies in mission-critical environments. We deliver cutting-edge solutions to enhance the interoperability, usability, and standardization of structured and unstructured data systems. Our work drives operational excellence and enables informed decision-making across complex domains while tackling emerging global challenges.

We are seeking an innovative and highly skilled Data Scientist to support advanced data interoperability efforts within dynamic operational environments. In this role, you will partner with technical and operational teams to identify challenges, create scalable solutions, and optimize end-to-end data workflows to meet mission objectives. You'll work closely with clients to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You'll guide teammates and lead the development of algorithms and systems. You'll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. Ultimately, you'll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience with Python-based data analysis, including anomaly detection and techniques for exploratory data analysis (EDA).
• 5+ years of experience developing data models, such as semantic taxonomies or ontologies, focusing on cross-system interoperability and machine-to-machine compatibility.
• 5+ years of experience designing and implementing solutions with APIs and SDKs along with data integration skills.
• Practical experience structuring, curating, and normalizing disparate data sources, particularly in complex settings with operational constraints.
• Proven ability to communicate across technical and non-technical teams to clarify complex data concepts.
• Exceptional skills in collaboration, problem-solving, and written and verbal communication.
• Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with eligibility for TS/SCI.
• Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Information Science, Engineering, or related field.

Nice If You Have:

• Advanced knowledge of semantic web technologies, such as RDF, OWL, JSON-LD, SKOS, and SHACL.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) and experience using tools like JIRA, Confluence, or other agile development platforms.
• An understanding of geospatial data formats (e.g., GeoJSON, WKT) and expertise in specialized ISR-specific data workflows.
• Knowledge of event-driven data design patterns, streaming solutions, and data governance frameworks.
• Knowledge of IC-compliant standards and frameworks for managing sensitive or classified data.
• Practical hands-on experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and managing data workflows in mission-critical environments.
