• Collaborate with analysts and developers to define data requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Support AI/ML initiatives by preparing and structuring datasets for downstream model development.
• Contribute to documentation of data architecture, workflows, and security compliance practices.
• Troubleshoot performance and data issues and implement corrective solutions.

Preferred

• Experience with cloud data services (AWS Redshift, RDS, EMR, Azure Data Services, etc.).
• Experience supporting AI/ML data preparation workflows.
• Familiarity with distributed processing frameworks (Spark, Kafka, etc.).
• Experience supporting DLA or logistics modernization programs.

Clearance and Eligibility

• Must be eligible to work in a DoD secure environment.
