Data Scientist, Senior

Booz Allen Hamilton
Springfield, VA2026-03-27Full time

About the job

As a senior analytics professional, you will lead analytic development, guide multi‑disciplinary teams, and shape the data strategy behind mission modernization. Working and leading other data scientists, you will architect end‑to‑end analytic workflows—data engineering, modeling, validation, cloud deployment—and translate mission needs into executable technical solutions.

Responsibilities

You’ll design models that quantify system behavior, integrate multi‑INT and geospatial datasets, and implement AI/ML solutions optimized for real‑time operational use. You will ingest APIs, building statistical baselines and identifying deviations. You will oversee and provide techniques in the use of tools such as SQL, Python, Excel, FADE/MIST, and Jema. You will partner with agencies and teams to ensure analytic outputs match mission timelines and technical rigor, consistent with the advanced expectations for senior data scientists. You will also contribute to technical approaches and modernization roadmaps that tie directly into mission requirements.
