What this job asks for AI summary
This role involves designing, building, testing, and deploying AI/ML models and algorithms to address federal government requirements, with responsibility for the full model lifecycle — from data pipeline interaction and training to monitoring and iterative improvement. The position may include leading geographically distributed teams and serving as a primary point of contact on AI-related matters. It suits candidates with a graduate degree in a quantitative field, at least five years of applied machine learning experience, and an active TS/SCI clearance with a relevant polygraph.

How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $122,874 (middle half $87,544–$162,374).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not pinned to a single metro — the posting lists work sites across Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, and OCONUS; no CBSA has been set.
The degree requirement is a Master's or Ph.D. in a relevant field; however, the JD explicitly allows substitution of 5 additional years of ML experience with a Bachelor's degree. Because a hard degree path exists (Master's/Ph.D.) but a full experience-based substitute is offered, the degree requirement is set to Masters as the stated minimum formal path — candidates should be aware the Bachelor's + 5 extra years route is explicitly accepted.
The TS/SCI requirement includes an 'agency appropriate polygraph,' which maps to TopSecretSci.
Python, Java, C, and R are listed as 'a plus' in the narrative, not under Required Qualifications — treated as preferred. 'C' was omitted as a named skill since it is rarely a standalone gate in ML roles and was grouped with the 'a plus' list.
PyTorch and TensorFlow are listed as interchangeable examples of 'standard machine language frameworks' under Required Qualifications — emitted as one required skill with TensorFlow as the alternative.
Compensation is listed as '$0 – $0 an hour' with an explicit note that rates are guidelines and vary by contract; no meaningful pay range is available.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
