About The Position

Accenture Federal Services is seeking an experienced Data Scientist to work directly with users, technical teams, and mission and business stakeholders to design, prototype, and deploy data-driven applications. The role operates at the intersection of software engineering, data, application development, and customer requirements.

Hands-on experience developing applications on large platforms, including Palantir Workshop, Ontology, Objects, Models, and Custom Widgets, is expected.

The Data Scientist/Palantir Engineer will partner with users and technical stakeholders, develop intuitive interfaces and Ontology-based solutions, integrate models and external systems, and conduct iterative development with users. The role also includes troubleshooting, documentation, demonstrations, testing, and supporting the deployment of prototypes into operational or production environments. An active TS/SCI clearance is required.

The position’s stated base pay range for the listed states and the District of Columbia is $89,000–$170,200 USD. Accenture Federal Services describes its workplace as collaborative and supportive, with opportunities to grow and learn through hands-on experience, certifications, and industry training.
