Summary

Project Description :
We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to support an AI Lab focused on exploring and implementing generative AI and machine learning solutions that enhance staff productivity and improve analytical capabilities. This is a full-stack role requiring end-to-end ownership - from exploratory research and model development through application deployment and production maintenance.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the full technology stack: building models, creating visualizations, developing applications, and deploying solutions to on-premises and/or cloud infrastructure. The AI Lab operates as a small, agile team where practitioners move fluidly between research, development, and deployment activities.

Location: Washington, DC | US Citizenship is Required

Qualification Requirements :
  • US Citizenship required
  • Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience developing, deploying, and maintaining AI/ML applications within a large professional or academic organization
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Machine Learning, or related field (Master's degree preferred)
  • Expert proficiency in Python or R for data science development; experience with additional programming languages a plus
  • Production deployment experience: ability to build, deploy, and maintain AI/ML applications in cloud environments, including containerization and basic CI/CD practices
  • Proficiency building interactive applications and dashboards using frameworks such as Streamlit, Dash, Flask, or R Shiny
  • Strong experience creating visualizations and dashboards using Python/R libraries, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools
  • Advanced knowledge of machine learning, NLP (Named Entity Recognition, POS tagging, word embeddings), and Generative AI technologies; experience with Scikit-learn, SpaCy, XGBoost
  • Advanced knowledge of statistical modeling, data analysis techniques, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, taking ownership of solutions from conception through production deployment


Skills Requirements :
  • Generative AI & LLM application development: prompt engineering, RAG systems, fine-tuning, model evaluation
  • Cloud deployment: AWS, Kubernetes, containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines
  • Application frameworks: Streamlit, Dash, Flask, R Shiny
  • Data visualization: Plotly, Matplotlib, Seaborn, ggplot2, Tableau, Power BI
  • LLM APIs and frameworks: GPT, Llama, LangChain, LlamaIndex; vector databases and semantic search
  • AWS AI services: Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Comprehend, Rekognition, Transcribe
  • AWS deployment services: EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch
  • Infrastructure as code: Terraform, CloudFormation
  • MLOps practices: model monitoring, versioning, automated retraining, and deployment pipelines
  • Responsible AI practices: bias detection, fairness evaluation, and model interpretability
  • Agile project tracking tools: Jira, Azure DevOps
  • Federal IT governance frameworks: FISMA, privacy requirements, and application security in regulated environments


Responsibilities :
  • Research, design, and develop machine learning and generative AI solutions, including proof-of-concept prototypes transitioning into production applications
  • Design and implement applications leveraging large language models (LLMs) for text analysis, summarization, information extraction, document classification, and workflow automation
  • Develop prompt engineering strategies and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems to improve AI application performance
  • Build, deploy, and maintain AI/ML models in cloud environments (AWS, Kubernetes), managing end-to-end deployment independently or collaboratively
  • Develop interactive dashboards and analytical applications using Python frameworks (Streamlit, Dash, Flask) or R Shiny
  • Manage deployment pipelines including containerization (Docker), CI/CD practices, and GenAI API integrations with cost optimization
  • Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for model performance, data quality, and system health
  • Communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences through presentations, reports, and executive summaries
  • Apply responsible AI practices including fairness evaluation, bias detection, and model interpretability
  • Support governance documentation including system security plans, privacy impact assessments, and authority to operate processes
  • Contribute to building an AI/ML practice through documentation, capability development, and mentoring team members
