Job Description

The Red Gate Group is seeking a TS/SCI cleared Data Scientist to support the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Reston, VA.

As a Data Scientist, you’re excited at the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set, and you’re fascinated by the possibilities presented by IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

On our team, you’ll use your leadership skills and data science expertise to create real-world impact.

You’ll guide teammates and lead the development of algorithms and systems. You’ll use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn sets of disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. Ultimately, you’ll provide a deep understanding of the data, what it all means, and how it can be used.
