Senior Data Engineer / Integration Lead

Accountabilities:

• • 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.

  Requirements:

  • 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.

  Benefits:

  • 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.
  • Opportunity to contribute to reusable data architecture and standards supporting future analytics workloads.
  • Role structured around modern Agile delivery practices and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Eligibility for the required Government access credentials and authorized work environments, subject to applicable requirements.
