About this role
Sparksoft is seeking an AI Product Analyst to support Federal data-service programs in Columbia, Maryland. This role sits at the intersection of business analysis and emerging AI technology, requiring you to translate complex requirements across Federal stakeholders, program managers, data engineers, and development teams. You'll evaluate Large Language Models, Generative AI systems, and related technologies like RAG and vector databases while ensuring solutions meet data governance, security, and Federal compliance standards. The work spans the full lifecycle—from gathering and documenting requirements through testing and validation—with hands-on involvement in system integrations, APIs, cloud platforms, and enterprise applications.
Success in this position demands at least five years in business analysis, systems analysis, data analysis, or technology consulting, paired with strong communication skills that let you bridge technical and non-technical audiences. You'll need to think critically about where intelligent automation and data analytics can optimize Federal workflows, while working within Agile and DevSecOps methodologies. SQL, Python, Power BI, or similar analytical tools are preferred but not required; what matters more is your ability to solve problems and document requirements rigorously—think business requirements documents, functional specs, use cases, test plans, and traceability matrices.
You must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance and have lived in the United States for at least three of the past five years. Sparksoft offers competitive compensation, a 401(k) with employer match, comprehensive health coverage, flexible paid time off, and a collaborative culture backed by training and development opportunities. The role is full-time and in-office in Columbia, Maryland.
