  • Support senior data engineers in post-integration efforts and continuous improvement initiatives.
As the ideal candidate, you will have:
  • A strong background in database architecture, data modeling, and distributed systems.
  • Experience with data validation, transformation, and integration across secure environments.
  • Familiarity with defense data platforms and cloud-based analytics environments (e.g., Advana).
  • Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience with a BS/BA degree; or 3 years of relevant experience with MS/MA.
