Job Description

Are you excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by machine learning and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open-up new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors from fraud detection to cancer research, to national intelligence, you know the answers are in the data.

You’ll design and implement machine learning solutions for complex tasks on large data sets, including extracting insights from multiple disparate data sources and types, such as cyber, language, and vision. You’ll perform research in machine learning, including adversarial machine learning, algorithmic fairness, and model interpretability. You’ll write journal articles, present at academic conferences, and produce whitepapers and briefings for both technical and non-technical audiences. You’ll serve as the client interface and maintain responsibility across the entire life cycle, including requirements gathering and analysis, process and systems definition, data analysis, presentation of analysis to clients in a format they can digest, and development of algorithm-driven products and solutions.

You Have:

• Experience with programming in Python
• Experience with machine learning
• Experience deploying machine learning to production environments
• Knowledge of security concerns, cryptographic tools, and open-source software
• Ability to work independently with customers to determine gaps between research and practice, and to implement code to fill those gaps
• Ability to obtain a security clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with application areas of machine learning, including malware detection, computer vision, natural language processing, and learning on graphs
• Experience building complex data pipelines
• Experience using GPUs for machine learning using frameworks, including TensorFlow
• Knowledge of cloud systems, including AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Ability to communicate results to both technical and non-technical audiences effectively
• Ability to work independently on complex tasks

Clearance:
