Primary Responsibilities
Design and develop advanced statistical and machine learning models utilizing state-of-the-art methods.
Implement advanced statistical concepts, algorithms and techniques to extract, consolidate and analyze unstructured, classified "big data" sources to generate actionable insights.
Collaborate with other applied scientists, engineers, researchers & program managers to architect and implement machine learned solutions to novel problems.
Engage in continuous learning and development, staying current with the latest advances in AI/ML and data science to ensure fit-for-purpose and impactful approaches.
Prepare and present briefs to client team members at a regular cadence.
Lead and manage a team: Recruit, hire, onboard, train, develop, and evaluate a team of 3-5 direct reports.

Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of prior relevant experience or Masters degree with 6+ years of relevant experience.
Proficient in modern data exploration techniques and tools
Experience developing and implementing machine learned solutions
Familiarization with modern AI/ML algorithms and libraries
Fluency in C/C++, Python or Matlab
Strong understanding of machine learning concepts, principles and practices
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Required on-site full-time work in San Diego, CA
Must currently hold a US Government Top Secret security clearance
Preferred Qualifications
.
Experience performing research to develop data science solutions
Experience implementing and applying advanced mathematical concepts in software applications
Past management experience
Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.
We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
