  • Strong understanding of relational databases and SQL
  • Comfortable learning new tools, methodologies, and domains, including working outside your comfort zone
  • Strong analytical mindset with a willingness to tackle complex mathematical and statistical challenges
  • Willingness to travel and work on-site at client locations as required by project needs

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in statistics, computer science, data science, mathematics, analytics, engineering, or related fields; experience applying advanced statistical concepts including sampling considerations, bias detection, weighting techniques, handling missing or outlier data, exploratory analysis, and longitudinal forecasting; and understanding of the data analytics lifecycle (e.g., CRISP-DM)
  • Experience with PySpark, Unity Catalog, and Jobs in Databricks, with familiarity using platforms and tools such as Databricks and AWS
  • Experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text analytics applied to unstructured documents or case notes, as well as graph analytics and network analysis to identify relationships, fraud rings, or interconnected entities
  • Experience with containerization and environment management (e.g., venv, conda)
  • Experience operating in secure or remote government environments, including use of bash and command-line tools
