About the Role

As a Data Scientist Level 3, you will support mission-critical national security operations by applying advanced data science, machine learning, and statistical techniques to large-scale, complex datasets. This role has a strong focus on Big Data platform support, scalable data processing, and algorithm development and refinement within distributed computing environments.

You will work across the full data lifecycle—curating, processing, modeling, and visualizing data—to deliver actionable insights. Leveraging strong programming skills and analytical expertise, you will develop automated workflows, refine analytical models, and support data-driven decision-making in dynamic mission environments. You will translate mission requirements into technical data solutions and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why Join Us

At Independent Software, our people are the mission. We've built a company around collaboration, integrity, and innovation, ensuring our team has the tools and support to grow, succeed, and thrive. When you join us, you will support critical national security missions that matter, be part of a close-knit, employee-first culture where your voice is heard, and expand your skills through ongoing training, mentorship, and career development.

We believe the right work-life balance can exist. Our work is extremely important, but your job is just a part of who you are. When you enjoy your life outside of our walls, you're at your best the next time you walk through our doors. We host a variety of fun employee and family events throughout the year to say thanks for all that you do to make Independent Software a technology leader as well as a phenomenal place to work.
