The Opportunity:
Data is only as powerful as the pipelines that move it, the structure that organizes it, and the trust that supports it. As a Data Engineer, you'll help build and scale a cloud-native data platform that enables mission-critical insights across the enterprise.
In this role, you'll design, build, and optimize data pipelines that ingest, transform, and deliver data from a wide range of internal and external sources. You'll work within a modern AWS-based data ecosystem to support analytics, APIs, and AI/ML use cases ensuring data is reliable, secure, and accessible to those who need it.
You'll collaborate closely with cloud engineers, API developers, data analysts, and mission stakeholders to develop reusable data products and scalable ingestion frameworks. From batch ingestion to near real-time processing, your work will directly support national security missions by turning raw data into actionable intelligence.
Work with us to build the backbone of enterprise data.
