We’re hiring multiple Data Scientists to join our team. In this role you will support the research, development, and implementation of advanced analytical methodologies and techniques that leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. You will work on a forward‑leaning defense intelligence program focused on enhancing analytic rigor, efficiency, and predictive capability across a broad mission set.

• Work in tandem with analysts to figure out methods to solve their challenges with complex data sets, pattern identification, and visualizations.
• Perform research and implement forward‑looking analytic methodologies that leverage statistical techniques and pattern recognition.
• Assist analysts in developing structured approaches to predictive intelligence that increase timeliness and accuracy of assessments.
• Expand existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) to include new entities and improved visualization.
• Research and implement approaches that enhance analytical tradecraft (support critical thinking, mitigate biases, increase analytic rigor).
• Research and implement advanced analytic methodologies that enhance tradecraft, mitigate bias, and improve analytic efficiency.
• Support the automation of structured analytic methods and workflows to increase repeatability and scalability of intelligence production.
• Contribute to the development and integration of semantic technologies, including ontologies and knowledge graphs, to support OBI standards.
• Design and build visualizations and dashboards that communicate complex data insights to technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Evaluate and optimize analytic performance using qualitative and quantitative metrics.

• Must be a U.S. citizen and have an active TS/SCI with CI poly.
• 12 years of experience and an advanced degree; experience with Git and software development workflows.
• Demonstrated experience with Python, R, and SQL, including programmatic access to web services, data management, and visualization.
• Demonstrated experience with statistical analysis and data mining algorithms.
• Possesses knowledge and experience with artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, cloud architecture, and data storage.

• Polished oral and written communication skills sufficient to compose, tailor, and deliver original presentations and papers on abstract concepts.
• Familiarity with graph databases or graph data structures.
• Ability to lead multi‑disciplinary teams to complete complex data science projects.
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud provider.
