Data Scientist
Summary
Builds Snowpark ML and Snowflake Cortex AI workloads that run entirely inside a governed Snowflake environment for a federal client, supporting predictive analytics and intelligent automation. Requires 6+ years applied data science/ML, Python and SQL, plus AWS-to-Snowflake data movement skills and familiarity with FedRAMP/FISMA constraints.
The Data Scientist establishes client's AI and automation readiness capability, building Snowpark ML and Snowflake Cortex AI workloads that execute entirely inside the governed Snowflake environment, consistent with the SOW's requirement that AI and ML workloads never move data outside the accredited boundary.
Responsibilities
• Design and build Snowpark ML and Cortex AI workloads that support predictive analytics and intelligent automation use cases. • Ensure all AI/ML workloads execute in-platform, preserving client's data residency and accreditation boundary requirements. • Partner with the Database Architect and Data Engineers to ensure governed, high-quality data feeds AI/ML pipelines. • Support use case execution and AI-readiness deliverables during the Build phase (Weeks 9–26) and expand capability during the Scale phase. • Document model design, assumptions, and performance for client review and COR acceptance. • Advise the Engagement Lead and IT Business Analyst on AI-enabled use cases during backlog prioritization. • Experience with S3 External Stages and secure AWS-to-Snowflake data movement. • Knowledge of AWS KMS encryption and high-volume Snowflake ingestion patterns. • Understanding of MuleSoft data consumption and integration architectures.
