Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Careers

Our world is driven by data. It drives all sources of intelligence and powers the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to make the intelligence work for us. To make that happen, CIA needs the expertise of Data Scientists and Artificial Intelligence Specialists to exploit, study, and manage it all.

  • As a Data Scientist you will play a critical role in analyzing and interpreting complex data across a wide range of missions, many of which drive the Agency's use of AI technologies to support our mission. You will work closely with stakeholders to identify and extract insights from large datasets, develop predictive models, and design, develop, and deploy solutions—in some cases powered by AI—to complex problems. During your career, you may lead a team of data professionals or data-driven initiatives/ projects.

  • Our Artificial Intelligence Specialists drive the tools and governance to ensure we are leveraging AI correctly and ethically, and work collaboratively across the Agency and beyond to bring the best tools to our mission set.
