The Opportunity:

Ever-expanding technologies like IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are generating more structured and unstructured data than ever before. As a data scientist, you know that within this data are the patterns, trends, and insights that can drive smarter decisions and meaningful mission outcomes. We need a skilled data scientist like you to help our clients transform complex data into actionable insight that supports critical missions.

As a data scientist at Booz Allen, you’ll contribute to advanced analytic initiatives on some of the most mission-focused projects in the industry. You’ll leverage statistical methods, machine learning techniques, data mining, and predictive analytics to extract value from diverse data sources and address complex operational challenges.

On our team, you’ll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact. You’ll work closely with clients to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You’ll guide teammates and lead the development of algorithms and systems. You’ll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. Ultimately, you’ll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used. Work with us as we use data science for good.
