About the Team
STR’s Analytics division researches and develops advanced analytics and machine learning-based solutions to solve challenging problems related to national security. Our team consists of passionate and motivated engineers with advanced degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and data science, who are seeking opportunities to use their deep technical knowledge and creativity to tackle some of the hardest problems that our customers face. Our projects span multiple different data modalities and incorporate advanced algorithms, deep learning, and statistical techniques to uncover patterns in social media, structured and unstructured text, time series, geospatial, and imagery data, and must operate under challenging constraints not typically found in the commercial world. The tools and technologies we develop have real world impact and US Government analysts use them to extract and enrich intelligence information around the globe.
The Role
We are looking for a leader who is passionate about collaborating with high-performance teams to solve unique national security challenges with novel technologies. As a Principal Software Architect, you will leverage your skills in systems and software development to operationalize advanced statistical machine learning algorithms and support production-level systems. You will work closely with other software engineers and researchers – teammates from both STR and subcontractors – to design cutting-edge solutions to challenging problems impacting national security including classification, anomaly detection, forecasting, and much more. You will also interact with customers to understand requirements and use cases and apply feedback to respond to their most critical problems.
Due to the nature of our work, applicants should expect to primarily work onsite, e.g., ~75% time at the customer site, and the rest of the time at STR’s Arlington, VA office: the split work location is designed to support strong engagement with our customers, our on-site team members, and STR’s technical and business operations teams in Arlington, VA and Woburn, MA. This role will take advantage of STR’s flexible, hybrid environment – when the work does not require use of STR’s facilities, you are welcome to work remotely.
