The Data Scientist manages and analyzes complex, often unstructured datasets for government and enterprise clients, ensuring data accuracy, accessibility, and usability. Core tasks include administering data tools, monitoring pipelines, developing analytical products, and collaborating with AI/ML and engineering teams to support mission-critical decision-making.
Location: Alexandria, VA
Accrete is an agentic managed services company: an AI workforce that does high-stakes, judgement-heavy work for government and enterprise clients — at the economics of software, not labor.
At the core is Accrete’s Knowledge Engine, a dynamic context graph that captures an organization’s tacit knowledge, resolves data across silos, and builds a living, auditable ground truth. Expert agents reason against that ground truth to act on complex, high-stakes decisions — not just answer questions about them.
From national security to commercial operations, Accrete delivers the work on one platform, with unlimited expert agents and expert judgement.
As a Data Scientist, you will work across data management, analytics, and AI-enabled workflows.
You will be responsible for administering and maintaining data management tools, supporting data ingestion and organization, monitoring data quality, developing analytical products, and helping users and technical teams get maximum value from mission data.
This role requires someone who is equally comfortable managing data systems and analyzing the data within them. You will work with large, complex, and often unstructured datasets and help ensure that data is accurate, accessible, properly organized, and ready to support operational and analytical use cases.
You will collaborate closely with engineers, AI/ML teams, product teams, and government customers to understand requirements, troubleshoot data issues, develop analytics, and continuously improve data workflows.
In this role, success means ensuring that mission-critical data is well-managed, reliable, accessible, and useful.
You will be successful when data management tools and workflows operate reliably, users can find and access the data they need, data quality issues are identified and resolved quickly, and stakeholders have clear analytical products to support decision-making.
You will also serve as an important bridge between data management, analytics, engineering, and mission users, helping turn raw and disparate data into trusted information that can support operational and AI-driven capabilities.
Salary Range: 140k-170k
The salary range provided reflects the estimated compensation for this role based on the expected qualifications and experience level. The final offer may vary depending on factors such as skills, experience, and alignment with role requirements.
You take full ownership and accountability for your work, consistently seeing projects through from inception to completion with a strong bias for action. Proactively identifying challenges, you drive solutions rather than waiting for direction, and hold yourself and others to the highest standards for delivering results. With strategic thinking and a problem-solving mindset, you make informed decisions leveraging data and expertise, always looking for ways to improve processes, optimize workflows, and enhance outcomes beyond your immediate responsibilities.
You work seamlessly across teams, prioritizing shared goals and team success over individual credit. Engaged listening and open, candid communication are at the heart of your approach, ensuring alignment and synergy throughout the organization. You value diverse perspectives, seeking input from others to drive better results. By treating colleagues with respect and professionalism, you help build a culture of trust, supporting each other through challenges, celebrating successes, and constructively addressing conflicts to strengthen relationships and improve outcomes.
You are deeply excited about the transformative potential of AI and committed to contributing to a company shaping the future of work. With curiosity and a growth mindset, you continuously seek to learn, adapt, and stay at the forefront of new developments. Your enthusiasm for innovation drives you to explore new ideas, challenge the status quo, and find creative solutions that deliver meaningful impact. You approach your work with energy and a desire to advance both technology and the way we work.
