Our client is seeking a remote Senior Data Platform Engineer to help build and operationalize scalable cloud-based data platforms supporting complex enterprise and technical workloads.

This is a senior hands-on engineering role focused on turning platform and solution architectures into reliable, production-ready capabilities. Working closely with senior architects and application teams, you will implement the data ingestion, processing, storage, integration, API, and automation components that allow data to move securely and efficiently across the environment.

The right person understands both data engineering and cloud platform engineering. You should be comfortable building data pipelines, integrating multiple systems, automating infrastructure and workflows, and solving the operational challenges that come with large-scale data platforms.

What You Will Do

  • Design and implement cloud-based data-platform components and services.
  • Build scalable data ingestion, transformation, processing, and distribution pipelines.
  • Implement cloud storage, data repositories, databases, and supporting platform services.
  • Develop APIs and integrations that enable applications and systems to access and exchange data.
  • Translate architecture and solution designs into production-ready implementations.
  • Build automation that supports data movement, provisioning, processing, monitoring, and operational management.
  • Integrate structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from multiple internal and external sources.
  • Develop solutions that improve data reliability, accessibility, quality, scalability, and performance.
  • Implement cloud-native services and containerized workloads where appropriate.
  • Support batch, event-driven, streaming, and API-based integration patterns.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational controls for data pipelines and platform services.
  • Troubleshoot complex data-ingestion, integration, performance, and platform issues.
  • Partner with architects, software engineers, analytics teams, security teams, and business stakeholders.
  • Support CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and automated deployment practices.
  • Develop technical documentation, implementation standards, and reusable platform components.

What You Will Bring

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, cloud engineering, or related technical roles.
  • Significant hands-on experience building production data pipelines and data platforms.
  • Experience implementing cloud-based data solutions within AWS, Azure, GCP, or comparable environments.
  • Strong experience with Python, SQL, or comparable data-engineering technologies.
  • Experience building data ingestion, transformation, processing, and integration workflows.
  • Experience working with cloud object storage, databases, APIs, and data services.
  • Experience designing or implementing APIs and system integrations.
  • Experience automating data and platform workflows.
  • Strong understanding of scalable, reliable, production-grade cloud architectures.
  • Experience troubleshooting complex data-platform and integration issues.
  • Must be able to hold a secuirty clearance 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong AWS data-platform experience.
  • Experience with services such as S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, Redshift, RDS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, MSK, or equivalent technologies.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized data workloads.
  • Experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or other Infrastructure as Code tools.
  • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for data or cloud platforms.
  • Experience with data lakes, lakehouse architectures, data meshes, or large enterprise data platforms.
  • Experience working with scientific, environmental, geospatial, or other complex datasets.
  • Experience in federal or regulated technology environments.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
