Full-time
Description
Interclypse is seeking a Software Engineer II to support a mission-critical data engineering effort on a project with the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This role sits on a team responsible for data ingest - moving data from point A to point B across the pipeline. Current work includes Python-based data movement through AWS EMR, with an active transition to PySpark and SQL in Databricks, as well as building data flows from Databricks to a cloud-hosted Elasticsearch environment. You'll work alongside dedicated Databricks and Elasticsearch subject-matter-expert teams, so deep specialization in either isn't required, but this role carries more independent ownership of pipeline design and troubleshooting than an entry-level position.
Key Responsibilities- Own and maintain data ingest pipelines, moving data reliably from source systems through to downstream destinations
- Work with existing Python code for AWS EMR-based data movement - Lead components of the ongoing migration of data pipelines from EMR/Python to PySpark and SQL in Databricks
- Build and support data flows from Databricks to a cloud-hosted Elasticsearch environment
- Collaborate with dedicated Databricks and Elasticsearch SME teams to design and troubleshoot pipeline components - Troubleshoot production issues across AWS, Databricks, and Elasticsearch
- Evaluate and improve the quality of existing pipeline software and integrations
- Document technical processes and data flows
- Ensure compliance with relevant federal security standards (e.g., NIST, FISMA)
- Conducts software validation, verification, and software engineering anomaly resolution
- Evaluates the quality of proposed and existing software systems/solutions supporting cyber software activities integrated into various networks and architectures
- Designs, develops, enhances, debugs, integrates, and implements software
- Troubleshoots production problems related to software applications
- Researches, tests, builds, and coordinates conversion/integration of new products based on user requirements
- Designs or implements complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; performs quality control on team products
- Confers with system and hardware engineers to derive requirements and obtain information on project limitations, capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces
