It is the pivotal quantitative role, and includes building the customs-revenue baseline analysis that underpins the program.\nKey Responsibilities\nData integration. Build and maintain pipelines that ingest customs declaration data (ASYCUDA/SYDONIA) and commercial international trade-price data, reconciling schemas, units and currencies into a single analytical warehouse.\nPrice-verification analytics. Construct the benchmarking that compares declared values against international reference prices - surfacing likely under-invoicing while respecting the WTO Customs Valuation framework - and document the method so findings are defensible.\nRisk scoring. Design, train and monitor the models and rules that score declarations for anomalies in value, tariff classification and origin, and that prioritize shipments for inspection.\nRevenue-baseline analysis. Produce the customs-revenue baseline analysis used to establish reference metrics with the authorities.\nGenerate the recurring risk-assessment reports and the monthly reporting delivered to the customs administration, with clear, auditable lineage from source data to conclusion.\nFeedback loop. Incorporate field-inspection results back into the models to improve hit-rates over time.\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years of experience in data science, quantitative analytics, applied statistics, or machine learning, including production experience building models and data pipelines using real operational data.\nStrong Python and SQL skills, with hands-on experience using tools such as pandas, scikit-learn, or equivalent analytical/modeling libraries.\nExperience with anomaly detection, statistical benchmarking, supervised or unsupervised modeling, model monitoring, and performance evaluation.\nDemonstrated ability to work with large transactional, logistics, financial, trade, or similarly complex operational datasets, including reconciling heterogeneous sources, schemas, units, and currencies.\nAbility to clearly document analytical methods, explain findings, and defend quantitative outputs to non-technical stakeholders, auditors, or government counterparts.\nStrong data-governance practices, including reproducibility, data lineage, version control, quality checks, and appropriate handling of sensitive data.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExposure to customs, international trade, tariff/HS classification, import/export data, valuation, or commercial trade-price data.\nFamiliarity with ASYCUDA/SYDONIA data structures or other customs, logistics, or government data systems.\nExperience standing up analytics capabilities in data-constrained, emerging-market, public-sector, or operationally complex environments.\nExperience with cloud data warehouses and workflow orchestration tools such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Airflow, dbt, Prefect, or similar platforms.\n#LI-NA1\nWhat Success Looks Like in Your First Few Months\nDuring your first months, you will:\nStand up the analytical environment and ingest initial customs and trade-data samples.\nDeliver an initial customs-revenue baseline analysis and prototype the price-verification benchmarking and risk-scoring.\nProduce the first risk-assessment reports that support inspection getting under way.\nReporting and Working Relationships\nReports to the Engagement / Delivery Lead; takes valuation-methodology guidance from the Customs & Valuation Subject-Matter Expert; partners with the Senior Full-Stack Developer on data access and tooling; consumes inspection results from the field via the Technical Manager and Data & IT Liaison.\nWhat KIBO Offers\nCompetitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.\nHigh-impact, mission-driven work supporting the modernization of a national customs administration.\nThe opportunity to help design a platform with long-term economic, operational, and public-sector impact.\nA collaborative, multidisciplinary team of customs, technology, data, and engineering specialists.\nSignificant ownership and influence during a critical program build-out phase.\nOpportunities for professional growth as the platform and program expand.\nIf you are motivated by mission-driven work and want to help establish the architecture behind a transformative customs-modernization program, we encourage you to apply.\nKIBO Laboratories LLC is an equal-opportunity employer and welcomes qualified applicants of all backgrounds. Offers are contingent on background, right-to-work and - where applicable - sanctions-screening checks.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4925,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:46:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.846,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":38,"expected_fill_days":44,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/securiport-senior-data-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/securiport-senior-data-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T13:08:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20559,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3894455},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3894455"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsecuriport-senior-data-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsecuriport-senior-data-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsecuriport-senior-data-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/securiport-senior-data-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsecuriport-senior-data-scientist"}]}
