Data Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Data Engineer / Integration Lead based in United States.

• Lead the discovery and integration of authorized enterprise data sources, including source-system assessments, schema reviews, data-owner coordination, source-key identification, refresh analysis, and access-dependency tracking.
• Design, configure, schedule, and maintain automated ETL/ELT pipelines using approved integration tools, connectors, Palantir Foundry capabilities where applicable, and Government cloud or VDI environments.
• Develop source-to-target mappings, transformation specifications, data dictionaries, lineage documentation, schema-change controls, and data architecture standards.
• Build modular and reusable ingestion frameworks and data models that support current delivery requirements and the onboarding of future authorized analytics and automation workloads.
• Design technical solutions using modular, air-gapped-ready principles that can support potential future network migration requirements without performing restricted-network work during the base period.
• Implement data profiling, validation, cleansing, integrity checks, exception handling, and reconciliation processes to ensure released metrics accurately reflect authoritative sources.
• Lead root-cause analysis and resolve data mapping, transformation, refresh, performance, and pipeline issues within required service thresholds.
• Partner with Power BI and data analytics professionals to provide curated datasets, semantic-model inputs, refresh schedules, and traceable business rules for reporting and dashboard development.
• Build or support automated UAT scripts, release validation, pipeline monitoring, data-freshness checks, quality controls, and performance monitoring.
• Maintain code, configurations, documentation, and technical artifacts in designated repositories while supporting Government ownership and transition readiness.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, sprint reviews, backlog refinement, technical working sessions, and approved onsite integration or knowledge-transfer activities.
• Protect controlled and Government-furnished information by using only approved connectivity, environments, devices, and tools.

• U.S. citizenship and the ability to satisfy required background investigation, CAC, and Government logical-access requirements.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, data engineering, software engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant professional experience may substitute for the degree.
• Seven or more years of progressively responsible experience in data engineering, data integration, database or data architecture, analytics engineering, or a related technical field.
• Demonstrated experience designing, developing, and sustaining automated and scheduled ETL/ELT pipelines integrating multiple enterprise data sources.
• Strong experience with data modeling, relational or analytical database design, source-to-target mapping, data lineage, data quality, reconciliation, and performance optimization.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience with at least one enterprise data integration, transformation, orchestration, or pipeline-development toolset.
• Experience working in Agile environments with version control, testing, documentation, and iterative release practices.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical dependencies, data-quality findings, integration risks, and solution options to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry, including data pipelines, transforms, lineage, ontology or data-model concepts, scheduling/orchestration, and operational analytics is preferred.
• Experience with logistics, maintenance, readiness, aviation, flight-management, or other complex operational datasets is preferred.
• Experience with Air Force or DoD enterprise data environments or comparable Government-authoritative systems is preferred.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI Premium, SharePoint Online, or comparable Government cloud environments is preferred.
• Experience designing solutions that support controlled information handling, Government data ownership, and future air-gapped deployment requirements is an advantage.

• Fully remote position within the United States.
• Periodic Government-authorized travel to Robins AFB, Georgia, as required.
• Opportunity to work on high-impact data engineering, integration, analytics, and automation initiatives.
• Exposure to enterprise-scale operational data environments and modern data platforms, including Palantir Foundry.
• Supportive, collaborative environment with opportunities to strengthen technical expertise and grow professionally.
• Mentorship and on-the-job development opportunities from experienced technology professionals.
