Data Engineer Flink Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Software Data Engineer
The Opportunity:
Are you looking for an opportunity not just to analyze data, but to architect real-time analytics platforms that deliver critical insights in the defense industry? As a Realtime Data Analytics Engineer, you'll drive end-to-end product design, from ingestion to computation to visualization for low-latency, high-volume data pipelines. Using agile lifecycle development and Git-based workflows, you'll partner with engineers, architects, and data scientists to operationalize streaming analytics, embed models into production systems, and deliver insights where milliseconds matter.
As a data engineer at Booz Allen, you'll help build advanced technology solutions and implement data engineering activities on some of the most mission-driven projects in the industry. You'll deploy and develop pipelines and platforms that organize and make disparate data meaningful.
Here, you'll work with a multi-disciplinary team of analysts, data engineers, developers, and data consumers in a fast-paced, agile environment. You'll use your experience in analytical exploration and data examinations while you manage the assessment, design, building, and maintenance of scalable platforms for your clients.
What You'll Do:

• Architect and optimize streaming analytics pipelines using Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, or Kafka Streams, including windowing, stateful processing, and exactly-once semantics.
• Build and refine data models, feature extraction patterns, and timeseries analytics for largescale, high-velocity data.
• Design and deploy real-time APIs and visualization layers using REST, WebSockets, and modern UI frameworks.
• Integrate operational machine learning workflows, including online inference, drift monitoring, and performance tuning.
• Implement observability for analytics workloads, including metrics, tracing, and instrumentation for data quality and latency.
• Utilize Docker and Kubernetes to deploy analytics services across cloud environments such as AWS and Azure.
• Establish best practices for data governance, schema evolution, lineage, and auditability across streaming ecosystems.
• Mentor engineers and data scientists, review designs and code, and champion SDLC best practices, testing, and documentation.
