About the Role
This position serves as a critical bridge between complex data infrastructure and operational decision-making within a secure government environment. You will be responsible for architecting and maintaining data pipelines that feed Foundry, ensuring that mission-critical data flows seamlessly from source systems to accessible locations. The role demands a blend of deep technical expertise in distributed computing and the ability to rapidly iterate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to solve real-time operational challenges.
In this capacity, you will not only debug delayed or missing data feeds but also design applications using Foundry's development framework to answer specific operational questions. The work involves executing requests for information regarding the platform's data footprint and collaborating closely with product teams to understand and debug the code backing the core platform. Success in this role requires navigating rapid development cycles while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and system reliability.
Security & Eligibility
This position requires an active DoD Clearance (Secret, Top Secret, or Top Secret/SCI) or the ability to obtain an Interim Secret or Interim Top Secret clearance. Consequently, U.S. Citizenship is a mandatory requirement for eligibility. Please note that eligibility for certain benefits may depend on your job classification and length of employment, and benefit plans are subject to change or specific election terms.
Application Process
Candidates must demonstrate a strong foundation in PySpark/Spark, Big Data architectures (including Lakehouse, Delta Lake, and Medallion Architecture), and proficiency in Python or Java with core SQL skills. Applications should highlight relevant experience in setting up data transfers, writing transformations for distributed computation, and monitoring build progress within a secure environment.
