  • Demonstrated experience building and deploying ML models using Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow)

  • Strong experience with data manipulation and analysis using SQL, Pandas, NumPy, and related tools

  • Experience working in secure federal environments, particularly DoD or Intelligence Community programs

  • Understanding of model validation, explainability, performance monitoring, and bias considerations

  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences

What Would Be Great to Have:

  • Experience supporting the Department of Defense, particularly work involving Advana or enterprise DoD data platforms

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical field

  • Hands-on experience working with federal financial or budgetary data (e.g., audit, accounting, execution, or spend analytics)

  • Experience engineering solutions on Databricks (including Spark, MLflow, Delta Lake)

  • Experience building analytics or ML solutions using Palantir Foundry

  • Familiarity with MLOps practices, CI/CD for ML, and model lifecycle management

  • Experience working in cloud environments such as Azure (including GovCloud) or AWS GovCloud

  • Master’s degree in a related quantitative or technical discipline

The annual salary range for this position is $102,000.00-$170,000.00. Compensation decisions depend on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, security clearances, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.

Guidehouse is a global professional services firm that provides management consulting, advisory, and technology-enabled services to public and private sector organizations. Formed from the combination of a large legacy public sector consulting business and subsequent strategic acquisitions, Guidehouse positions itself as a multidisciplinary advisory firm that helps clients address complex regulatory, operational, financial, and technological challenges. The company’s public profile emphasizes integrated consulting and implementation capabilities across strategy, risk management, program delivery, and information technology, delivered to clients in government, healthcare, energy and utilities, financial services, and other regulated industries. Core business activities include management and strategy consulting, technology implementation and systems integration, data and analytics, cybersecurity and risk services, regulatory and compliance advisory, transaction and financial advisory, and managed services. Guidehouse’s consulting engagements frequently span the full life cycle of client needs: from strategy and design through system selection and deployment to operations and managed operations. The firm combines industry-specific domain expertise—particularly in health and human services, federal and state/local government programs, energy and infrastructure, and financial services—with technical capabilities such as cloud migration, enterprise IT modernization, digital transformation, advanced analytics, and cybersecurity engineering. In the technology domain, Guidehouse offers services that include IT strategy and transformation, application modernization, cloud adoption and managed cloud services, data engineering and business intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics, cybersecurity assessments and defensive operations, identity and access management, and systems integration for enterprise platforms (ERP, CRM, and program-specific systems). Guidehouse also provides technology-enabled managed services and outsourcing for mission-critical functions, including program management offices (PMO), IT operations, and compliance monitoring. These offerings are designed to support clients’ modernization priorities, regulatory reporting and audit readiness, fraud detection and control, and operational resilience. Guidehouse’s sector-focused practices combine technical and regulatory know-how. For public sector clients, the firm provides support for federal, state, and local agencies on large program implementations, IT modernization, acquisition and procurement advisory, financial management and audit readiness, and policy and regulatory program design. In healthcare, Guidehouse advises payers, providers, and life sciences organizations on value-based care models, revenue cycle optimization, population health analytics, regulatory compliance, and IT integration for clinical and administrative systems. The firm’s energy and sustainability practice addresses issues such as regulatory strategy, market design, grid modernization, energy transition planning, and technology solutions for utilities and energy-market participants. Financial services and corporate clients receive advisory support on regulatory compliance, risk management, transaction advisory, forensic accounting, and enterprise technology transformation. Guidehouse has augmented its consulting footprint through acquisitions that broaden its industry coverage and technical capabilities. One notable expansion came with the acquisition of an established consulting firm that strengthened the company’s energy, healthcare, and financial services advisory practices and expanded its U.S. and international presence. The firm operates with a model that pairs industry subject-matter experts with technical architects and implementation teams to deliver end-to-end solutions that move from advisory to operational execution. This approach is intended to reduce risk for clients on large-scale transformations and to accelerate the realization of business outcomes from technology investments. Service delivery combines onsite consulting with remote and offshore delivery centers, supported by proprietary methodologies, toolsets, and strategic partnerships with major technology vendors and platform providers. Guidehouse maintains alliances with leading cloud providers, enterprise software vendors, and cybersecurity technology firms to support clients’ selections and implementations and to provide vendor-neutral guidance when appropriate. The firm’s technology practice emphasizes secure cloud adoption, resilient infrastructure, data-driven decision making, and pragmatic adoption of automation and artificial intelligence where they deliver measurable performance improvement. Clients include government entities at all levels and a broad range of commercial organizations in industries subject to complex regulation, policy change, or market disruption. Guidehouse’s engagements often focus on helping organizations meet regulatory requirements, respond to policy changes, remediate audit findings, implement large IT programs, and pursue strategic transactions or restructurings. The firm’s offerings also include performance improvement programs, cost transformation initiatives, and support for digital service delivery models. Guidehouse describes itself on official materials as a professional services and consulting firm that couples industry knowledge with technical skills to guide clients through change. The company’s public communications emphasize a mission of helping clients navigate regulatory complexity and digital transformation while improving operational performance, governance, and resilience. Guidehouse operates internationally, with a footprint that encompasses offices and delivery centers in North America and markets across Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. The organization staffs engagements with multidisciplinary teams that include consultants, industry specialists, data scientists, technologists, and program managers to execute complex, technology-enabled transformations.
