Backed by Dynamis's deep bench of financial intelligence and data science expertise, the Data Scientist II transforms large, disparate datasets into actionable results and clear, decision-ready intelligence products that support FinCEN's policy, law enforcement, regulatory, and other customers, working under the technical direction of FinCEN Program Managers.

  • Develop probabilistic and/or predictive models to support analytic objectives.
  • Implement machine learning processes into production software applications.
  • Use big data tools and proprietary data to answer mission and business questions.
  • Present findings in written intelligence products of varying lengths, styles, and formats, and communicate complex technical results in plain language for non-technical audiences.
  • Participate, in limited cases, in working meetings with FinCEN customers to gather requirements or present findings.

Requirements:

  • Top Secret Clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • U.S. Citizenship
  • 4–7 years of data science experience (Level II).
  • Experience using open-source machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn and TensorFlow to answer business questions using proprietary data.

  • Experience with probabilistic and/or predictive modeling.
  • Experience performing data analysis using scripting languages such as Python, R, MATLAB, and Spark.
  • Experience implementing machine learning processes into production software applications.
  • Experience using big data tools to answer business questions with proprietary data.
  • Experience building property graphs from multiple data sources to perform network analytics.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze large, noisy datasets and identify meaningful, actionable patterns.
  • Strong time management, prioritization, and problem-solving skills in a time-constrained environment, with adaptability to changing priorities, formats, and standards.
  • Understanding of proper contractor/government interaction protocols.

Preferred:
