Full job description

Data Scientist and Pipeline EngineerThe Opportunity: As a data scientist, you’re excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you’re fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a data scientist at Booz Allen, you can help 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, we need you to help find the answers in the data.

On our team, you’ll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact. 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.

Work with us as we use data science for good.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

  • 3+ years of experience with statistical and general-purpose programming languages for data analysis
  • 3+ years of experience analyzing structured and unstructured data sources
  • Experience with data exploration, data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization, or data mining
  • Experience developing predictive data models, quantitative analyses, and visualization of targeted data sources
  • Experience with natural language processing, text mining, or ML techniques
  • Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and automation middleware
  • Experience integrating enterprise systems such as Jira, Confluence, APIs, or in-house platforms
  • Experience with pipeline hardening, including model lineage tracking, automated validation, monitoring drift, data integrity or pipeline health
  • TS/SCI clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience in the development of algorithms leveraging CDS, GitLab, CI/CD, Argo CD, R, Python, or SQL and NoSQL
  • Experience with distributed data and computing tools, including MapReduce, Hadoop, Hive, EMR, Kafka, Spark, Gurobi, or MySQL
  • Experience with visualization packages, including Palantir, Plotly, Seaborn, or ggplot2
  • Master's degree
