You Have:

  • 3+ years of experience with data engineering, including building and operating production data pipelines for DoW/DoD missions
  • Experience using Python and SQL to integrate data from enterprise databases, APIs, and operational systems
  • Experience building automated batch or streaming pipelines with data validation, failure recovery, and performance monitoring
  • Experience implementing cloud data infrastructure, including storage, data modeling, and query optimization
  • Secret clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a technology field

Nice If You Have:

  • Experience with distributed data processing, change data capture, or event-driven architectures
  • Experience implementing data catalogs, lineage, semantic models, or governed data products
  • Experience engineering datasets and pipelines for machine learning or RAG applications
