Job Number: R0253437 Data Engineer, Mid
The Opportunity: Help modernize how a U.S. Army's program captures, preserves, and reuses data generated during high-value system test events. Design and implement dependable data storage and processing capabilities that replace manual file transfers and fragmented local copies with secure, organized, searchable repositories. Ensure valuable datasets remain discoverable, accurate, and useful as the deployed software system and its configurations evolve.
Collaborate with software developers, systems engineers, test personnel, and AI/ML practitioners to automate data ingestion, quality validation, relevance-based curation, indexing, version tracking, and backup and recovery. Preserve source provenance and test-event and software-version context so trusted datasets can support performance analysis, government reporting, partner-facing metrics, and model training. Build a foundation for future automated dashboards and controlled data access by authorized stakeholders.
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have: - 4+ years of experience in data engineering, database development, or data-platform work supporting software or test environments, including Python, SQL, data transformation, complex queries, source control with Git, automated testing, and peer review
- Experience deploying, configuring, securing, monitoring, tuning, backing up, and troubleshooting locally hosted relational or NoSQL databases, including schema and data modeling, indexing, query optimization, data integrity, and controlled access
- Experience building and operating scheduled batch or near-real-time ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest data from files, APIs, applications, and databases, with validation, relevance-based filtering, logging, alerts, automated retries, and failure recovery to keep data accurate and available
- Experience managing data retention and reuse through test-event and source metadata, dataset provenance, software-version traceability, relevance-based curation, automated backups, and recovery testing
- Ability to translate developer, tester, and stakeholder needs into supportable data solutions
- Secret clearance

Nice If You Have: - Experience supporting U.S. Army or other DoD software development, testing, evaluation, or sustainment programs, particularly with test-event datasets, telemetry, application logs, system performance metrics, or technical reporting
- Experience with Redis architectures, including data structures, indexing, and persistence, together with complementary technologies such as PostgreSQL, object storage, or on-premises data platforms for durable, high-performance retrieval
- Experience preparing reproducible AI/ML training, evaluation, or inference datasets through profiling, labeling, normalization, deduplication, feature preparation, and version tracking
- Experience supporting Agile or Scrum software teams with CI/CD and repeatable deployments, including workflow orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect and planning or release tools such as GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Jira
- Experience implementing data catalogs, metadata management, data lineage, schema-evolution controls, or dataset versioning using methods and tools such as DVC, lakeFS, data contracts, or comparable governance practices
- Experience building automated performance dashboards and traceable reports with Power BI, Grafana, Tableau, or Python visualization tools, including drill-down links or references to source datasets
- Experience working in Linux-based, on-premises, restricted, or disconnected environments using Docker or other containers, secure networking, role-based access, audit logging, or controlled remote or API access
