That’s why we need you, a cyber strategic planning specialist with the skills to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.

As a Data Scientist on our team, you’ll research and enable the processing of structured and unstructured data, derive patterns, trends, and correlations, and enable entity extraction, disambiguation, common operating picture solutions, visualization, and other data-related support. You will implement improvements to data entity extraction, entity resolution, pattern extraction, link analysis, human and social-network links or connections, cloud online analytical processing, data frameworks, visualization support, and related algorithms.
