We are seeking a proactive Lead AI & Data Analytics Engineer to support a federal acquisition process modernization effort. This individual will serve as the technical and functional lead for building AI-enabled analytics products using Palantir Foundry, Microsoft Power Platform, Advana, Jupiter, and Databricks.

This is not a traditional dashboard developer role.
