Job description

In this role, you will be the bridge between complex data science and operational reality. You will design and deploy cloud-native microservices, automate sophisticated ETL pipelines using NiFi and Python, and optimize the connectivity between high-performance on-prem compute clusters and the cloud. Your work will directly impact the speed and accuracy of national security insights, providing you the platform to use cutting‑edge tech—from Generative AI model fine‑tuning to Terraform‑driven infrastructure—in an environment where precision is the only standard.

Mandatory Skills

• Clearance: Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph (Required).
• Cloud Architecture: Extensive experience with AWS/Azure services, including EC2, S3, RDS, and optimizing connectivity between cloud and on‑prem high‑performance compute environments.
• Data Engineering: Expert‑level management of SQL databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL), including schema design, mapping, and data discovery.
• Automation & ETL: Proven success automating NiFi workflows and writing custom OS‑level scripts (Bash/Anaconda) for complex ETL operations.
• DevOps & Infrastructure: Mastery of Docker containerization, Terraform for IaC, and building robust CI/CD pipelines (Git, Jenkins, Jira, Confluence).
• Design & Standards: Application of user‑centered design principles, web usability standards, and comprehensive architectural documentation.

Desired Skills

• Advanced Analytics: Experience supporting data scientists with fine‑tuning/transfer learning for classification, prediction, and Generative AI models.
• Visualization: Proficiency in connecting cloud‑based data sources to Tableau for executive‑level visualizations.
• Mission Expertise: Prior experience within a Sponsor analytic mission area and familiarity with the internal data management lifecycle.
• High‑Performance Computing: Experience with distributed computation and creating parallel processing solutions.
