Data Engineer

The Opportunity:

Ever-expanding technology like IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence means that there’s more structured and unstructured data available today than ever before. As a data engineer, you know that organizing data can yield pivotal insights when it’s gathered from disparate sources. We need an experienced data engineer like you to help our clients find answers in their data to impact important missions.

As a Data Engineer on our team, you’ll implement data engineering activities and strategy on some of the most mission-driven projects in the industry. You’ll design, deploy, and develop pipelines and platforms that organize and make disparate data meaningful.

Here, you’ll work with a multi-disciplinary team of data analysts, engineers, scientists, electrical engineers, test engineers, software developers, and data consumers in a fast-paced, agile environment. You’ll use your experience in analytical exploration and data examination while you help assess, design, build, and maintain scalable data platforms for your clients. You will be responsible for helping develop and maintain database systems, continually seeking opportunities to optimize the organization's data ecosystem, and building custom ETL and ELT workflows as necessary to address critical analytical questions.

What You’ll Work On:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

• Implement and manage data governance practices, ensuring data quality, security, and compliance.

• Design, construct, install, test, and maintain highly scalable data management systems, ensuring they meet business requirements and industry practices.

• Employ a variety of languages and tools to marry systems together or try to hunt down opportunities to acquire new data from other systems.
