About The Position

CyberTrend is seeking a Data Scientist to support customer analytics and help address the growing complexity of the data those analytics ingest. The role analyzes new and existing datasets to provide insights that help customers implement and optimize analytic suites, including plans to expand capabilities using AI/ML and graph-based technologies and frameworks.

The Data Scientist develops machine-learning, data-mining, statistical, and graph-based algorithms to analyze datasets; evaluates candidate algorithms using suitable performance metrics; and builds models or experiments to generate data when training or example datasets are unavailable. The role also produces reports and visualizations, works with subject-matter experts to automate manual analysis, and implements prototype algorithms in production frameworks for integration into analyst workflows.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI with Poly clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university in a quantitative discipline, such as statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering, or computer science; qualifying additional experience or graduate degrees may substitute as specified in the posting.
• At least 10 years of experience in two or more of the following: designing or implementing machine learning, data mining, advanced analytical algorithms, advanced statistical analysis, artificial intelligence, or software engineering with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.
• An additional four years of experience in software development, cloud development, dataset analysis, or developing descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics may substitute for a bachelor’s degree.
• A master’s degree in a quantitative discipline may substitute for two years of experience, reducing the experience requirement to eight years.
• A doctoral degree in a quantitative discipline may substitute for four years of experience, reducing the experience requirement to six years.

Responsibilities

• Develop machine-learning, data-mining, statistical, and graph-based algorithms to analyze datasets.
• Prototype and evaluate candidate algorithms, selecting final models 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.
• Analyze new and existing datasets and provide insights to help customers implement and optimize analytic suites.

Benefits

• Generous and competitive paid time off, scaled based on time in service.
