In this role, you will be responsible for designing and building robust, secure data architectures and pipelines on GCP. You will help modernize federal data landscapes, enabling advanced analytics and data-driven decision-making for critical mission objectives.
The work you'll do:
- Design, develop, and maintain robust data pipelines and ETL processes that enable the seamless integration, cleansing, harmonization, and transformations in large-scale data processing systems and data lakes/data warehouses using GCP native services (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub).
- Implement performance tuning (partitioning, broadcast joins, caching, shuffle optimization).
- Integrate data from multiple sources (databases, APIs, cloud storage, potentially streaming).
- Migrate legacy data stores and ETL pipelines to modernized, cloud-native architectures on GCP.
- Develop scalable batch and real-time streaming data pipelines using Python, SQL, and Apache Beam.
- Implement data governance, data quality checks, and secure data access controls in alignment with strict federal security requirements.
- Collaborate with data scientists, cloud infrastructure engineers, and mission stakeholders to optimize data models and query performance.
- Design and Implement CI/CD Pipelines: Architect and build robust, automated CI/CD pipelines to streamline the build, test, and deployment processes from development through to production environments.
Here's what you'll need:
- 3 to 5+ years of experience with data engineering, data warehousing, and/or big data processing.
- 2+ years of hands-on experience building data pipelines and/or data solutions on Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Dataflow, and/or Cloud Composer).
- Strong programming skills in Python and advanced proficiency in SQL.
- Experience with ETL/ELT concepts and tools.
Bonus points if you have:
- Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer Certification.
- Experience with migrating legacy relational databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server) to cloud-native databases (e.g., Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Spanner).
- Familiarity with federal data strategies, RMF, and Impact Level 4/5 (IL4/IL5) security and compliance standards.
Security clearance:
- Active Top Secret (TS) or Interim TS security clearance is required.
