Data Engineer

The Opportunity:

Ever-expanding technology like machine learning, and artificial intelligence means that there’s more structured and unstructured data available today than ever before. As an AI and ML engineer, you know that organizing data and architecting intelligent models can yield pivotal insights when gathered from disparate sources. We need a technically skilled AI and ML engineer like you to help our clients build intelligent systems and find answers in their data to impact important missions, from fraud detection to cancer research to national intelligence.

As an AI and ML engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll help build advanced technology solutions and implement machine learning activities on some of the most mission-driven projects in the industry. You possess a high degree of self-agency, thriving in environments where you are trusted to "figure things out" with a high degree of autonomy. You’ll bring a scrappy, technically curious approach as you code, deploy, and develop AI/ML pipelines, models, and applications that organize and make disparate data meaningful.

Here, you’ll work with and guide a multi-disciplinary team of analysts, data engineers, developers, and data consumers in a fast-paced, agile environment. You are eager to learn and will use your hands-on coding expertise in analytical exploration, model development, and data examination while you manage the assessment, design, building, and maintenance of scalable AI and ML applications and solutions for your clients.

Work with us to use AI for good.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
