About this role
Freedom Technology Solutions Group is hiring a Data Scientist to build analytical models that turn complex geospatial and operational datasets into actionable intelligence for mission-critical work. You'll develop statistical methodologies, design machine learning features, analyze imagery and geospatial data, and work across secure cloud environments to improve discovery, correlation, and decision-making. The role sits at the intersection of data science and systems integration—you'll collaborate with software engineers, cloud architects, and mission analysts to operationalize your models, then communicate findings through dashboards and technical presentations to stakeholders.
This is a hands-on position that demands both technical depth and communication skills. You'll need proficiency in Python, SQL, geospatial tools like PostGIS and GeoPandas, AWS services, and data visualization platforms. Beyond core data science work, you'll gather and refine customer requirements, support integration efforts, and help align activities with established processes and mission objectives. The role requires an active TS/SCI clearance (eligible for CI Poly) and 1–12+ years of experience in software development, system integration, or technical support; geospatial analytics, machine learning, satellite imagery processing, and Intelligence Community experience are all valued.
The position is contract-based and in-office in St. Louis. Freedom offers competitive compensation, fully paid medical coverage, matching 401k, generous paid time off including site closure days, paid training and tuition reimbursement, and company-sponsored events.
