What you will be doing:
As a Data Scientist Level 3 with Independent Software, you will play a mission critical role in applying data science expertise to complex national security challenges. At Independent Software, you will not just be writing code you will be helping protect the nation by turning complex data into actionable intelligence. We foster a collaborative environment where innovation, purpose, and impact intersect. If you are looking for a workplace that values both technical excellence and real world mission relevance you will thrive here.
You will leverage your Python expertise, workflow automation, data manipulation, and visualization particularly within Jupyter Notebooks to support data driven decision making and operational efficiency. You will contribute to developing analytical tools, generating impactful insights, delivering sophisticated visualizations, and optimizing data pipelines. You will also apply your SIGINT background and experience with RF or PROFORMA data to enhance team capabilities and analytical approaches.
Key Responsibilities
Apply skills across at least two of the following domains:
Foundations: Mathematical, statistical, and computational theory and application
Data Processing: Data curation, transformation, visualization, reproducibility, pipeline automation, and optimization of inefficient processes
Modeling and Prediction: Statistical modeling, inference, forecasting, and domain specific analytics
Draw conclusions from large, complex datasets using a combination of mathematical, statistical, and domain knowledge
Develop and apply analytic models and quantitative techniques tailored to unstructured or incomplete datasets often with unique national security constraints
Translate mission and analytical requirements into technical data specifications and guide others on interpreting results
Effectively convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences including non technical stakeholders
Required Skills and Qualifications
Proficient in Python and familiar with Jupyter Notebooks
Strong background in machine learning, statistical modeling, and algorithm development
Hands on experience with data cleaning, transformation, and analysis of large datasets from multiple sources
Experience with exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, and inference modeling
Knowledge of AI ML frameworks, data mining, and software engineering principles
Workflow automation, optimization of data pipelines, and ensuring reproducible analytics
Experience with PROFORMA or other RF data and SIGINT datasets
Education and Experience
Master’s degree with 8 plus years of relevant experience or
Bachelor’s degree with 10 plus years of relevant experience or
Associate degree with 12 plus years of relevant experience
Acceptable Degree Fields
Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Machine Learning, Data Science, Operations Research, or Computer Science
Related fields such as Computer Information Systems, Engineering, or Physical Sciences with a strong computational focus
Other scientific disciplines may qualify if accompanied by 5 or more upper level courses in mathematics 300 level or higher and or computer science
Broader degrees may be accepted if supported by a Data Science Certificate from an accredited institution
Clearance Requirement
Must possess an active TS SCI with appropriate Polygraph to be considered for this role
