About OPEN Data Jobs
OPEN Data Jobs (ODJ) is built to craft data careers. We connect high-potential data, AI, and software professionals with meaningful work on the cutting edge of the federal sector, and our aim reaches beyond any single opening: to help you understand your strengths, find the right role, and grow throughout your career.
ODJ is organized around Roles and Openings. A Role is a durable career type, such as Data Engineer or AI Engineer: it describes the work, the skills that count, and where the path can lead. An Opening is a specific position hiring right now, with a level, a location, and an application. Roles help you see where you fit; from there, there is more than one way to move.
Today, you can apply to any Opening that fits you through our secure application system. You can also register for a Role to express interest in that broader category of work. A Role registration is not an application to every future Opening.
The work
Data Scientists turn difficult questions and complex data into evidence. They work with stakeholders to define what should be measured, determine whether the available data can support the question, select appropriate statistical or machine learning methods, and explain what the results do and do not establish.
The work runs from exploratory analysis through model development, validation, interpretation, and communication. Data Scientists examine data quality
