Data Scientist – TS/SCI with Polygraph Required
Full Time
About the Team
At Core Interface, we believe great software is built by small teams of thoughtful engineers working on meaningful problems.
Our work supports mission-critical federal programs where rigorous analytical thinking drives real decisions at scale.
We’re growing our data science team and are looking for modelers and analysts across multiple experience levels who can move fluently between complex datasets and clear, actionable insight — and who thrive working closely with engineers and mission partners.
What You’ll Do in This Role
Develop, evaluate, and deploy predictive and optimization models using Python, R, or equivalent tools
Apply machine learning, NLP, and AI techniques to support entity resolution and extraction workflows
Gather, profile, and prepare large datasets for analysis and model training
Create and track accuracy and performance metrics for deployed models
Translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences
Maintain technical documentation for models, experiments, and data workflows
Required Qualifications
Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a highly quantitative field — Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Machine Learning, or Operations Research
Proficiency in Python or R for data analysis, modeling, and pipeline development
Experience building and evaluating machine learning, statistical, or NLP models
Working knowledge of SQL and experience with large, complex datasets
Ability to distill ambiguous requirements into well-defined analytical problems
Clear communication skills; comfortable presenting quantitative concepts to mixed audiences
Additional Strengths That Stand Out Experience with Big Data platforms and distributed processing frameworks (Spark, Hadoop, etc.)
Familiarity with large-scale distributed systems in a production environment
Experience in financial or statistical modeling
Prior work in an IC or DoD mission environment
