It is the pivotal quantitative role, and includes building the customs-revenue baseline analysis that underpins the program., * Data integration. Build and maintain pipelines that ingest customs declaration data (ASYCUDA/SYDONIA) and commercial international trade-price data, reconciling schemas, units and currencies into a single analytical warehouse. * Price-verification analytics. Construct the benchmarking that compares declared values against international reference prices - surfacing likely under-invoicing while respecting the WTO Customs Valuation framework - and document the method so findings are defensible. * Risk scoring. Design, train and monitor the models and rules that score declarations for anomalies in value, tariff classification and origin, and that prioritize shipments for inspection. * Revenue-baseline analysis. Produce the customs-revenue baseline analysis used to establish reference metrics with the authorities. * Generate the recurring risk-assessment reports and the monthly reporting delivered to the customs administration, with clear, auditable lineage from source data to conclusion. * Feedback loop. Incorporate field-inspection results back into the models to improve hit-rates over time., * Stand up the analytical environment and ingest initial customs and trade-data samples. * Deliver an initial customs-revenue baseline analysis and prototype the price-verification benchmarking and risk-scoring.Produce the first risk-assessment reports that support inspection getting under way. Reporting and Working Relationships Reports to the Engagement / Delivery Lead; takes valuation-methodology guidance from the Customs & Valuation Subject-Matter Expert; partners with the Senior Full-Stack Developer on data access and tooling; consumes inspection results from the field via the Technical Manager and Data & IT Liaison., * High-impact, mission-driven work supporting the modernization of a national customs administration. * The opportunity to help design a platform with long-term economic, operational, and public-sector impact. * A collaborative, multidisciplinary team of customs, technology, data, and engineering specialists. * Significant ownership and influence during a critical program build-out phase.
