The Darkstar Group
Data Scientist (TS/SCI + Poly)
The Darkstar Group, Tysons Corner, Virginia, United States,
Description
The DarkStar Group is seeking a Data Scientist with a TS/SCI + Poly clearance (applicable to this customer) to join one of our top projects in Tysons, VA. Below is an overview of the project, as well as information on our company, our benefits, and our $25,000 referral program.
THE PROGRAMThe DarkStar Group is a member of 100% of the winning teams for the largest technology program in the Intel Community. We've been supporting this customer on many different sub-projects of this program since our founding in 2013. We've grown on this effort by providing the customer with Engineers who have done exceptional work, and we've retained our staff by paying very strong salaries, and working hard to ensure each Engineer is doing work that aligns with their career interest.
THE PROJECTThe Sponsor requires technical support with expertise in data engineering, data management, systems engineering, software engineering, and project management for the systems used to collect, process, and exploit data used by the Sponsor.
THE ROLEThe Data Scientist will write ad-hoc code on very short timelines to address new circumstances. They will sustain, and at the direction of the Sponsor, evolve, and modernize systems and capabilities that comprise the data platform ecosystem. The Data Scientist will support downstream systems and capabilities of external Sponsor organizations dependent on the Sponsors data platform via various approaches, to include application programming interfaces (APIs). They will develop integration plans that capitalize on new data processing, modeling, and storage technologies including the cloud environments, on an ongoing basis. With Sponsor oversight, The Data Scientist will deliver new methodologies, solutions, capabilities, and products to derive more and accurate value from data. They will evaluate data collections to assess the potential value-add to the Sponsors data platform to recommend to the Sponsor. As well as evaluate data collections and ensure data transformation across the pipeline results in accurate, user-facing results within Sponsor applications. The Data Scientist will generate assessments about data, support activities to perform data acquisition and engineering, and enable the processing of data so it is integrated into data platform systems for maximum value. With Sponsor’s oversight, they will sustain, evolve, and modernize the intermediate data models to grow and advance their use by downstream systems and capabilities dependent on the Sponsor’s data. The Data Scientist will perform and support data modeling and engineering activities for integration of new data into the Sponsor’s data platforms data corpus, refining existing models and intermediate models to address deficiencies and defects, and with Sponsor oversight, creating new models and data feeds to support existing and new analytic methodologies. The Data Scientist will support and evolve the processes and mechanisms that enable:Mission partners to identify, build pattern of life, predictive analytics, social networks, geospatial analysis, etc. on targets of interest.Correlation of data that connects data or entities to targets of interest.Rapid prototyping of new capabilities to validate their viability to support mission and scale as necessary.Aggregation of data to facilitate finished intelligence.The Data Scientist will support, evolve, and modernize with Sponsor direction the processes and mechanisms to process new collections against the existing corpus, resulting in “pointers” to the files that analysts should focus on exploiting. They will create methods for measuring tool usage, effectiveness, and usage trends. Produce visual reference demonstrating mission use by component and person.Desired Skills (Optional)Demonstrated experience using Enterprise Control Language (ECL) and the Lexis-Nexis High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC) platform.Demonstrated experience performing All-Source data analysis to perform analytic support to the Sponsor.Demonstrated experience developing custom algorithms to support analytic requirements against massive data stores supporting the Sponsor.Demonstrated experience directly supporting the Sponsor performing technical analysis support using massive data processing systems.Demonstrated experience writing cables.Demonstrated experience planning and coordinating program activities such as installation and upgrading of hardware and software, utilization of cloud services, programming, or systems design development, modification of IT networks, or implementation of Internet and intranet sites.Demonstrated experience deploying web applications to a cloud managed environment to include DevOps and security configuration management.Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, and maintaining cloud infrastructure services such as EC2, ELB, RDS, S3, and VPC.Demonstrated experience planning, coordinating, and executing the required activities to support documentation to meet the Sponsor’s data compliance requirements (e.g., legal, data policy)Degree(s):
Undergraduate degree in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or similar scientific or technical discipline.Graduate degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or another scientific or technical discipline.Degree or equivalent in CS, MIS, Economics, Physics, Genetics, or Engineering related field, especially Supercomputing-related.
