In this role, you will primarily focus on optimizing reports and providing actionable insights across various business metrics. You will play a critical role in shaping data-driven decision-making within the organization, ensuring the accuracy and relevance of data, and enhancing reporting capabilities to support operational and strategic goals.

This is your chance to shape the future of intelligence and data science at Nightwing, driving measurable improvements through data analysis and reporting.

Responsibilities:

  • Optimize and automate reports that provide insights into key business metrics, improving operational efficiency and decision-making

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify reporting needs and ensure data is structured to deliver clear, actionable insights

  • Own the development and optimization of data pipelines to ensure seamless flow of clean, reliable data for reporting and analysis

  • Leverage AWS services to build a scalable, secure, and cost-effective data platform

  • Provide ongoing analysis of business performance metrics, identifying opportunities for process improvements and cost reductions

  • Work with cross-functional teams to ensure that data reports align with business objectives and help drive data-driven decisions

  • Stay ahead of trends in data science and machine learning technologies, continuously learning and sharing knowledge with your team

  • Mentor and provide leadership to junior data scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist or in a similar role, with a proven track record in data architecture and machine learning

  • Strong foundational understanding of forecasting models and their applications in real-world data

  • Hands-on experience with data integration tools and data transformation (ETL) processes

  • Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, and R

  • Expertise in building data pipelines and automating reporting processes

  • Experience using data visualization tools like Tableau or PowerBI to communicate business insights

  • Deep familiarity with AWS cloud technologies and building scalable data platforms

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams

  • A strong sense of ownership and the ability to work independently, managing multiple projects simultaneously

Preferred Skills:

  • Knowledge of data mesh principles and domain-driven design

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, or a related field preferred

  • Experience with machine learning concepts and data preparation for ML models

  • Familiarity with data governance, security, and privacy best practices

  • Experience working in Agile environments and understanding the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle)

  • Exposure to M365 and Azure environments

  • Leadership experience, including mentoring junior team members.

Location: Dulles, VA (Corporate site) (Hybrid)

Security Clearance: Must be a US Citizen. No Clearance required, but Secret or higher preferred.

Previously part of a leading Fortune 100 company and headquartered in Dulles, VA; Nightwing became independent in 2024 but continues to support the nation’s most mission impactful initiatives.

When we formed Nightwing, we brought a deep set of credentials and an unfaltering commitment to the mission. For over four decades, our team has been providing some of the world’s most technically advanced full-spectrum cyber, data operations, systems integration and intelligence support services to the U.S. government on its most important missions. 

At Nightwing, we value collaboration and teamwork. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside talented individuals who are passionate about what they do.
