Data Scientist (TS/SCI req'd)

The Data Scientist role at WWC Global LLC, based onsite in Tampa, FL, supports USSOCOM missions by designing and maintaining data pipelines and machine learning initiatives on cloud-native platforms to extract actionable insights from structured and unstructured data.

Responsibilities

• Gathers, cleanses, and prepares data, applying AI and ML methods plus visualization tools to enable problem solving across the SOF Enterprise.
• Leads research and analytics activities leveraging diverse data types, both structured and unstructured, using programming to sanitize, transform, and organize the data.
• Runs experiments on data, communicates results, and suggests previously undiscovered solutions to command data challenges.
• Applies scientific methods, algorithms, processes, and visualization techniques to extract actionable insights from data and integrates data into existing analytics tools.
• Creates methods to ingest and unify data from multiple operational platforms, enabling near real-time analysis to inform command decisions.
• Develops predictive and prescriptive models, NLP, RPA, text mining, clustering, forecasting, and other advanced statistical techniques.
• Designs AI/ML algorithms and models for NLP, computer vision, large language models, and decision-making that learn from data to identify patterns and improve over time.
• Conducts AI/ML modeling and simulations to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make predictions, using models to simulate real-world scenarios without real-world risks.
• Designs and automates data manipulation and analysis workflows, manages and integrates data across diverse datasets, and analyzes large-scale structured and unstructured data.
• Utilizes frameworks such as Spark and Hadoop for large-scale processing and performs data engineering, processing, and modeling on cloud-based platforms like Databricks, IBM Cloud Pak, Cloudera, and Snowflake.
• Collaborates with stakeholders, including business users and warfighters, to design and test analytics and AI-enabled solutions and demonstrates capabilities through robust learning campaigns.
• Performs statistical modeling and creates visualizations using Tableau, Power BI, and R Shiny, conveying complex concepts to non-technical audiences through digital storytelling.
• Adheres to Integrated Governance Standards by supporting the Department of War's governance approach for data, analytics, and AI, ensuring data compliance and trust in line with SOCOM security and data strategies.
• Develops and delivers unique analytic solutions when existing tools are insufficient, including executable scripts, enterprise dashboards, visualizations, web applications, or full-stack applications incorporating AI, ML, RPA, NLP, and topic modeling.
