- Develop dashboards, data visualizations, and reporting solutions for senior government stakeholders
- Ensure data quality, integrity, and security across program implementations
- Support transformation projects by modernizing customer data environments
- Contribute to agile delivery cycles and periodically provide updates on performance metrics
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, data engineering, AI, or related technical field
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering, applied AI/ML, or scalable system integration
- Demonstrated experience operationalizing AI models beyond experimentation
- Deep proficiency in Python and SQL with experience designing scalable data architectures
- Experience building and deploying AI/ML systems in production environments
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Redshift) and secure system integration
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance
- Ability to translate ambiguous mission problems into structured technical solutions
- Comfort working directly with senior government stakeholders
- Strong systems thinking across data pipelines, APIs, models, and visualization layers
- Ability to operate independently in dynamic, high-stakes environments
- Willingness to travel as needed for customer engagements
