Job description

Themis Insight solves difficult business, IT, and analytic problems by addressing the whole problem – not just the symptoms – using interdisciplinary approaches that are both practical and innovative. We provide fresh alternatives to ordinary, mainstream consulting firms through small, highly skilled, and hand-picked teams that can meet clients' needs in any industry. Our broad interdisciplinary understanding allows us to provide the right solution, even if it is from outside the industry or traditionally defined problem space. We bring Public and Private, Civilian and Military expertise to every case. We are hiring a Principal Data Scientist to work in the Fort Meade, MD vicinity. Position location is subject to change based on central MD client's needs. Required: TS/SCI with a Polygraph Employ some combination (2 or more) of the following skill areas: • Foundations: Mathematical, Computational, Statistical • Data Processing: Data management and curation, data description and visualization, workflow and reproducibility • Modeling, Inference, and Prediction: Data modeling and assessment, domain-specific considerations Devise strategies for extracting meaning and value from large datasets. Make and communicate principled conclusions from data using elements of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and application specific knowledge. Through analytic modeling, statistical analysis, programming, and/or another appropriate scientific method, develop and implement qualitative and quantitative methods for characterizing, exploring, and assessing large datasets in various states of organization, cleanliness, and structure that account for the unique features and limitations inherent in NSA/CSS data holdings. Translate practical mission needs and analytic questions related to large datasets into technical requirements and, conversely, assist others with drawing appropriate conclusions from the analysis of such data. Effectively communicate complex technical information to non-technical audiences. Make informed recommendations regarding competing technical solutions by maintaining awareness of the constantly-shifting NSA/CSS collection, processing, storage and analytic capabilities and limitations. Individual Capabilities/Experience Required: • A Bachelor’s degree and 15 years of relevant experience.
