Data Science Manager

South Jordan, Utah or Tysons, Virginia

Strider Technologies is on a mission to deliver strategic intelligence that enables faster, more confident decision-making for organizations around the world. As the leading strategic intelligence company, Strider empowers organizations to secure and advance their technology and innovation. We leverage cutting-edge AI technology and proprietary methodologies to transform publicly available data into critical insights. These insights enable organizations to proactively address and respond to risks associated with state-sponsored intellectual property theft, targeted talent acquisition, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Job Description 

Strider is looking for a Data Science Manager to lead a team of 5–10 data scientists in building and scaling AI-driven capabilities that sit at the core of our products. This team’s work is fundamental to Strider’s strategy: creating repeatable data services that power multiple product lines, accelerating delivery through strategic use of AI, and grounding everything we build in objective, measurable impact. 

 Your team will own some of the most complex technical challenges at Strider—particularly, but not limited to, entity resolution of people and organizations. You'll be responsible for both the how and the what: delivering high-quality models and services, and creating the processes, priorities, and culture that make it possible. 

 What You Will Do 

  • Build and shape reusable data services with one-to-many applications across Strider’s current and future products. 
  • Drive the adoption of AI as an accelerant across data science workstreams—automating where possible, scaling intelligently, and pushing for smarter iteration velocity. 
  • Lead a team to deliver measurable, consistent progress against long-term projects—balancing innovation with velocity and quality. 
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Intelligence teams to scope high-impact work and align data science contributions with broader company goals. 
  • Build a culture of metric-driven decision-making, setting clear KPIs for every project and using data to evaluate progress, impact, and resourcing needs. 
  • Serve as a people leader, developer, and technical mentor—developing talent, guiding architecture, and helping your team navigate ambiguity. 
  • Stay close to the work: help unblock complex problems, review model assumptions, and challenge the team to raise the bar continuously. 
  • Help shape the data science strategy, contributing to the long-term vision of the team and continuously improving how we work.  

 

What You Will Need to Be Successful 

  • 6+ years of hands-on data science experience, including production-grade model development 
  • 2+ years of leadership experience with direct ownership of teams and project delivery 
  • Deep expertise in Python and SQL; familiarity with search infrastructure (e.g. Elasticsearch) and graph approaches is a strong plus 
  • Demonstrated success in building AI-augmented workflows, tools, or services 
  • Experience building reusable, modular data systems that support multiple use cases 
  • Proven ability to operate in ambiguity, set direction, and drive measurable outcomes over time 
  • Strong product instincts and cross-functional communication skills 
  • A sharp analytical mindset with a high standard for accountability, precision, and a relentless pursuit of excellence 

 

Why Join This Team 

  • You'll work at the center of AI + intelligence, building services that power Strider’s most critical missions and unlock data-backed decision making for the world’s leading organizations 
  • You’ll help lead the transition from smart people solving hard problems to smart systems solving repeatable problems at scale 
  • You’ll have space to build—team, process, and tech stack—and leave a legacy in how Strider scales its data capabilities 
  • You'll collaborate daily with a high-trust, high-talent leadership group committed to pushing boundaries 

 

Benefits 

  • Competitive Compensation 
  • Company Equity Options 
  • Flexible PTO 
  • Wellness Reimbursement

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
