The Opportunity:
As a Data Scientist and 365 Developer supporting the U.S. Army, your primary focus will be building, enhancing, and sustaining Army applications for a wide range of mission stakeholders. You will integrate AI‑enabled analytics and Army Vantage capabilities into applications and workflows to support digital modernization and improve how the Army automates processes, generates insights, and makes data‑driven decisions. You will conduct verification and validation testing, deliver updates and enhancements, and manage a ticketing system to resolve user issues efficiently and keep applications mission‑ready.
You will perform advanced data mining to aggregate, transform, and analyze large datasets — summarizing information, identifying correlations, grouping data through clustering, and detecting anomalies that may inform operational decisions. In parallel, you will carry out data preprocessing to prepare datasets for analysis or integration into larger frameworks, including handling missing values, removing duplicates, and standardizing formats to ensure consistency and usability. You will also explore systems and Army platforms such as Vantage to identify opportunities for improved analytics, visualization, and enterprise data integration in support of CPE programs.
Beyond analytics, you will develop, update, and maintain Army 365 SharePoint sites, lists, and document libraries in both unclassified and classified environments to support enterprise data management. This includes managing user permissions across SharePoint, Qlik, and Power Apps to maintain secure, appropriate access. You will maintain and update template files that capture key data elements across 18 core capability areas and ensure they align with Power Apps and other enterprise tools. To strengthen data governance, you will refine portfolio definitions, data dictionaries, and glossaries, ensuring consistent terminology and structure across Army systems and analytical platforms.
Through this work, you will enhance the U.S. Army's digital ecosystem by improving data quality, enabling AI‑supported insights, and delivering reliable tools that empower mission partners with the information they need to act with confidence.
