U.S. Citizenship is required for this position due to federal government contract and security clearance requirements.

This position requires and ACTIVE and CURRENT TS SCI with a POLYGRAPH to be considered.

Aperio Global is seeking a Data Scientist to 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.

Overview

Level 1

Produce data visualizations that provide insight into dataset structure and meaning.

Collaborate 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

Level 2

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).

Evaluate individual analytic efforts and make recommendations in the analytic development process.

Recommend solutions that can scale to large datasets.

Collaborate with software engineers, cloud developers, and appropriate stakeholders to develop production analytics.

Develop and train machine learning systems based on statistical analysis of data characteristics to support mission automation

Security Clearance Requirements:

This position requires all candidates to be U.S. Citizens and possess an active TS/SCI Security Clearance with a Polygraph.

Qualifications

Requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, and engineering or computer science) from an accredited college or university, and four (4) years of experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics and two (2) year of experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.

A Master's degree in relevant discipline may be substituted for two (2) years of relevant experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics, and one (1) year of relevant experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB.
