Data Scientist 3

At Wyetech, you'll be at the center of an award-winning corporate culture, breaking technological barriers and solving real-world problems for our federal government customers. We are committed to hiring the best of the best, and in return, we offer a world-class, truly unique employee experience that is rare within our industry.

A data scientist will develop machine learning, data mining, statistical and graph-based algorithms to analyze and make sense of datasets; prototype or consider several algorithms and decide upon final model based on suitable performance metrics; build models or develop experiments to generate data when training or example datasets are unavailable; generate reports and visualizations that summarize datasets and provide data-driven insights to customers; partner with subject matter experts to translate manual data analysis into automated analytics; implement prototype algorithms within production frameworks for integration into analyst workflows.

Due to federal contract requirements, United States Citizenship and position appropriate security clearance is required. (e.g. Active TS / SCI security clearance with agency appropriate polygraph).

Capabilities

• Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning
• Work with subject matters experts (SMEs) to identify important information in raw data and develop scripts that extract this information from a variety of data formats (e.g., SQL tables, structured metadata, network logs)
• Incorporate SME input into feature vectors suitable for analytic development and testing
• Translate customer qualitative analysis process and goals into quantitative formulations that are coded into software prototypes
• Develop and implement statistical, machine learning, and heuristic techniques to create descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics
• Develop statistical tests to make data-driven recommendations and decisions
• Develop experiments to collect data or models to simulate data when required data are unavailable
• Develop feature vectors for input into machine learning algorithms
• Identify the most appropriate algorithm for a given dataset and tune input and model parameters
• Evaluate and validate the performance of analytics using standard techniques and metrics (e.g. cross validation, ROC curves, confusion matrices)
• Oversee the development of individual analytic efforts and guide team in analytic development process
• Guide analytic development toward solutions that can scale to large datasets
• Partner with software engineers and cloud developers to develop production analytics
• Develop and train machine learning systems based on statistical analysis of data characteristics to support mission automation
• Lead a team of data scientists in the development of multiple analytic efforts
• Work with customers and SMEs to define analytic requirements and guide the team in formulating analytics that meet requirements
• Guide the transition of prototyped analytics to production system
• Understand emerging machine learning and pattern recognition algorithms and guide a team of data scientists in integrating state-of-the-art algorithms into solutions
• Delegate analysis responsibilities to one or more team members and monitor performance
