• Support training workshops and hands-on knowledge-transfer sessions for SOI analysts and data scientists.
• Explain software functionality, analytical workflows, operational procedures, and technical dependencies to Government personnel.
• Support delivery of the final technical environment and artifacts necessary for SOI to sustain independent production.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in software development supporting analytical, statistical, data-processing, or technical applications.
• Strong experience developing maintainable, transparent, and reproducible code.
• Experience with Python-based development and analytical applications.
• Experience developing software tools, pipelines, dashboards, or applications supporting data analytics.
• Experience with testing, debugging, validation, and production software deployment.
• Experience supporting secure or regulated data environments is highly relevant.
• Familiarity with privacy-preserving computation, differential privacy, disclosure avoidance, or statistical data protection is highly desirable.
• Experience working with Federal datasets and applicable confidentiality, security, and governance standards.
• Ability to collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, project managers, statistical analysts, and Government stakeholders.
• Ability to produce comprehensive technical documentation and support user training and knowledge transfer.

Federal Project Requirements
