## Description

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to support mission-driven analytic and modernization efforts across the Intelligence Community. This role leverages advanced analytics, automation, data modeling, and visualization to solve complex intelligence and operational challenges. The ideal candidate is an experienced technical professional who can transform large, complex datasets into actionable intelligence, modernize analytic workflows, and develop scalable solutions that directly support enterprise decision-making and mission success.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop advanced analytic solutions that transform complex intelligence data into meaningful insights for mission stakeholders. You will design and implement scalable data pipelines, automation strategies, and analytic processes that enable analysts to identify patterns, trends, and operational opportunities across large, diverse datasets. Working directly with intelligence professionals, you will apply data science techniques to solve challenging mission problems while improving the efficiency, repeatability, and rigor of analytic workflows.

You will leverage senior-level Python programming skills to build tools, automate manual processes, and develop reusable analytic capabilities. Your work will include designing compelling visualizations and dashboards that communicate complex findings in a clear, actionable manner, enabling mission partners to integrate data-driven insights into daily operations and strategic planning. As new requirements emerge, you will rapidly prototype and deploy solutions that support evolving customer needs.

Operating in a fast-paced, mission-focused environment, you will independently manage multiple concurrent projects while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across the Intelligence Community. You will provide technical acumen in the application of modern data science practices, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise modernization initiatives. Through innovation and continuous improvement, you will help advance intelligence capabilities by transforming data into operational advantage.
