Inc. is seeking a highly motivated Geospatial Data Scientist to join our geospatial solutions team. In this role, you will assist with the design, development, and maintenance of geospatial applications across the concept, design, and implementation phases; support teammates in using GIS applications and software; and interface directly with clients and teaming partners. You will apply advanced spatial data science, machine learning, and statistical modeling to explore geospatial patterns, model accessibility and vulnerability, and generate actionable insights for decision-making. Leveraging GIS platforms, programming tools, and rigorous analytical methods, you will design and implement data-driven workflows that support mission, research, and operational objectives—while ensuring that data and models are reproducible, scalable, and integrated across enterprise systems and analytical products. We are seeking self-starting individuals with a “Let me at it” attitude who can adapt to a fluid work environment and an occasionally demanding schedule. In return, you will be able to be part of a motivated, highly skilled team and will be able to contribute to the growth and positive direction of our company. *Contingent upon contract being awarded* Location: Candidate can work remotely.
