## Description

At Core Interface, we believe great software is built by small teams of thoughtful engineers working on meaningful problems.
Our work supports mission-critical federal programs where rigorous analytical thinking drives real decisions at scale.
We're growing our data science team and are looking for modelers and analysts across multiple experience levels who can move fluently between complex datasets and clear, actionable insight - and who thrive working closely with engineers and mission partners.
What You'll Do in This Role

 * Develop, evaluate, and deploy predictive and optimization models using Python, R, or equivalent tools
 * Apply machine learning, NLP, and AI techniques to support entity resolution and extraction workflows
 * Gather, profile, and prepare large datasets for analysis and model training
 * Create and track accuracy and performance metrics for deployed models
 * Translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences
 * Maintain technical documentation for models, experiments, and data workflows
