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 Sr. Data Scientist to work in Linthicum Heights, MD. Position location is subject to change based on central MD client's needs.

Required: TS/SCI with a Polygraph

Description:

As part of the Secure the Enterprise initiative, develop capabilities to shift from the current manual system security evaluation and authorization process to a new model that emphasizes automation, streamlined processes and approvals, continuous monitoring and assessment, and network data gathering across the entire life cycle of a project.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Develop and enhance automated capabilities that replace manual security evaluation and authorization processes.
  • Use Python to process, analyze, and validate security related data, ensuring systems and resources meet security requirements.
  • Detect anomalies and outliers to assess progress through the Risk Management Framework (RMF) lifecycle.
  • Identify system associations for resources based on various attributes and known system information.
  • Design, build, and maintain ETL pipelines to collect and integrate data from multiple sources (network sensors, security tools, compliance databases).
  • Transform and prepare data for reporting, analysis, and automated assessments.
  • Support data engineering operations including data quality checks, pipeline monitoring, workflow optimization, and timely delivery of security insights.
  • Enable scalable, reliable dataflows that support continuous monitoring and RMF automation.

Individual Capabilities/Experience Required:

  • Bachelor's and Master's degree or higher from an accredited college or university in a quantitative discipline (e.g., statistics, mathematics, operations research, engineering or computer science). Ten years of experience analyzing datasets and developing analytics, and ten years of experience programming with data analysis software such as R, Python, SAS, or MATLAB. An additional two years of experience in software development, cloud development, analyzing datasets, or developing descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics can be substituted for a Master's degree. A PhD from an accredited college or university in a quantitative discipline can be substituted for four years of experience.

Individual Capabilities/Experience Desired:

  • Strong background in statistical analysis
  • Experience developing, tuning, and testing predictive models
  • Proficiency in creating analytic dashboards, visualizations, and charts.
  • Elasticsearch
  • RegEx
  • Machine learning
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Regression and predictive analysis
  • MATLAB or R
