Job description

About Zaden Technologies, Inc.

Join Zaden Technologies on our mission to simplify the delivery and improve the utility of software products for our customers. At Zaden, we believe that our employees are our greatest assets. We hire the right candidates with the right skill sets who fit our culture of customer obsession, innovation, and continuous learning. We are our customer’s biggest advocate and we are looking for like-minded individuals who encompass these same ideals. It is important to us to offer you competitive pay and comprehensive benefits with opportunities that match your life and propel your career!


Cleared, and ready to build pipelines that matter? Zaden Technologies is hiring Data Engineers to support a defense logistics analytics program. This is an on-site role — you'd work in person with the mission team, designing the data backbone that feeds real operational decisions: streaming and batch pipelines that pull sprawling logistics data into one governed platform that leaders actually use.

Role Responsibilities:
  • Design and run high-throughput pipelines integrating structured and unstructured data from enterprise defense logistics systems into a centralized data lake
  • Build streaming ingestion with Kafka and batch orchestration with tools like NiFi or Airflow
  • Stand up cloud storage and compute with encryption at rest and in transit
  • Own data quality: lineage tracking, audit trails, and monitoring that keeps the platform at mission-grade availability
  • Work shoulder to shoulder with data scientists and the mission team, on-site
  • Write clear technical documentation to support the broader team
Required Qualifications:
  • An active TOP SECRET clearance with SCI eligibility (TS/SCI) at time of application (firm requirement, U.S. citizenship required)
  • A Bachelor's degree in an applicable field and 4+ years of data engineering experience
  • Hands-on depth in AWS and/or Azure, Python, SQL and NoSQL, Spark, and Kafka
  • Availability to work on-site in the greater Tampa area
  • Start date in early October
Preferred Qualifications:
  • NiFi or Airflow experience in production
  • Databricks experience
  • Experience integrating enterprise DoD logistics and data systems
  • IL4/IL5 cloud environment experience
  • Strong documentation habits and clear technical writing
What we offer:
  • Robust startup environment with a variety of projects to work on
  • Growth paths and endless opportunities to learn and develop
  • Paid holidays and flexible paid time off
  • Employer contributions toward 401k
  • 50% coverage of health insurance for employees and their dependents
