Data Scientist - Senior

DIA's analysts are swimming in more data than any human can read. Your job is to make that data work for them. As a Data Scientist supporting the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, you'll build the tools, models, and pipelines that turn massive, messy, multi-INT data into insight, from recommendation engines and automated lead scoring to predictive models that help analysts see around corners.

At the senior level, you'll do this work at its highest degree of difficulty, and you'll multiply your impact by leading and mentoring the team around you. This position is contingent upon award of contract, business needs, security clearance verification, and funding availability.
