AI, data & integration jobs worldwide

• Build functional prototypes and proof-of-concept solutions for agency engagements spanning smart city video analytics, document intelligence, generative media, and content authentication

• Stay current with the latest developments in applied AI and assess what translates from research settings to practical government applications

• Support the development of our multimodal AI showcase and prototyping platforms

• Produce technical write-ups and contribute to knowledge artifacts such as handbooks, reports, and evaluation findings

[What we are looking for]

We are looking for a data scientist who sits at the intersection of exploration and applied AI. Someone who can pick up a new model or technique, understand how it works, and turn it into something users can actually try.

Technical Foundation

• Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Engineering, or a related field

• Proficiency in Python and familiarity with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)

• Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including model training, evaluation methodology, and experiment design

• Foundational knowledge of computer vision concepts and/or experience working with image, video, or audio data

• Interest in or exposure to multimodal AI systems, vision-language models, or generative AI

• Comfortable reading technical documentation and staying current with new developments in applied AI

AI-Augmented Proficiency

• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex) to accelerate your work

• Able to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs rather than accepting them blindly

• Treats AI as a collaborator, using it to learn new libraries, debug, and move faster

Mindset

• Curious and outcome-oriented. You enjoy going deep on a problem but ultimately care about whether it works in practice

• Intellectually driven. You try new models and stay current because you genuinely enjoy it

• Comfortable with ambiguity. Government AI work means scoping problems that aren't always well-defined

• Strong communicator. You can explain what you built and why it matters to both technical peers and non-technical agency stakeholder
