The data scientist will work closely with State stakeholders and technical team members to ensure the quality of the results and that the derived methods are transparent, statistically sound, relevant, and documented.
Key Responsibilities
Current Processes & Technology
  • Collectively engage with client and other team members to understand the current intake process and outcomes.
  • Identify how the State decides to deploy resources based on the intake information.
  • Contribute to the identification of shortcomings in the intake process and opportunities to improve outcomes. Use information from interviews, discovery sessions, and workshops to identify.
  • Identify any internal data sources used in the intake process.
Devise New Intake Approach Using New Technologies
  • Based on an understanding of the current intake process and its shortcomings, devise and propose an improved process using natural language processing and other machine learning methods to favorably impact child outcomes while reducing resources.
  • Quantify to the extent possible, the impact of the improved process and use of new technology.
Map Anticipated Data Source Changes
  • Determine how internal data sources might change with future modifications to core IT systems used by client.

Design Review(s)
  • Conduct a preliminary and a final design review of an improved intake tool proof-of-concept implementation.
  • Include anticipated outcomes from the use of the technology and any differences that may be evident from the proof-of-concept implementation.
  • If an LLM is intended to be used, show how the data will be protected.
  • Identify the source of the data that will be used in the proof-of-concept implementation. If data from the State is unavailable, describe an alternative approach.
Implementation of Proof-of-Concept
  • Create a means of hosting data, whether the data is provided by the State, simulated, or other means.
  • Construct a demonstrable prototype application that will illustrate the new technology’s impact on children and State resources.
  • Build the prototype application using Python, C++, JAVA, and/or SQL, or similar language. Use Postgres or a similar database if needed.
  • Integrate the proof-of-concept with the available data source.
  • Conduct tests to validate the functionality of the application.
  • Validate to the extent possible, the impact on children and State resources from using the prototype in a fully implemented form.
