  • Build for the Enterprise: Create a highly reliable single source of truth for enterprise intelligence and enablement
  • AI Workflow Enablement: Architect and optimize production-grade data foundations to support high-performance AI workflows and automated decision-making.
  • Operations & Governance: Establish and automate strict data security, quality assurance, and governance processes. Design systems for high fault tolerance and rapid disaster recovery
  • Efficiency: Design and model for efficient queries, resource usage, workload scheduling, and cost

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering, within a cloud environment, demonstrating a clear progression from engineering into architectural design
  • Proficiency in SQL and strong programming skills in Python, Rust, or Java
  • Experience building and maintaining data pipelines using processing/streaming frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Beam, Spark) and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow)
  • Experience architecting data stores and schemas for AI workflows (e.g., RAG)
  • Active Google Cloud certifications, or willingness to obtain within one month of joining
  • Builder mentality and bias for action
  • US Citizen
Preferred Qualifications
  • Deep expertise in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem, specifically building streaming and batch pipelines using Dataflow (Apache Beam), Pub/Sub, BigQuery, and Cloud Composer (Airflow)
  • Strong background in data modeling and architecture across relational (e.g., PostgreSQL), NoSQL (e.g., Firestore, MongoDB), and graph databases (e.g., Neo4j), including modern cloud data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery) and data lakes (e.g., GCS, Dataproc)
  • Demonstrated experience setting up infrastructure for modern data science, machine learning, or Generative AI (e.g., preparing unstructured data, vector databases, RAG pipelines)
  • Familiarity with regulatory compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, HIPAA, etc.) and security strategies
  • Experience with modern data platforms like Snowflake or Databricks

Benefits
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Hybrid work environment (MWF in-person in our Reston office)
  • A collaborative and innovative work environment
  • Continuous learning and development opportunities
