Data Engineer, Senior

The Opportunity:  

Ever-expanding technology like IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence means that there’s more structured and unstructured data available today than ever before. As a data engineer, you know that organizing data can yield pivotal insights when it’s gathered from disparate sources. We need an experienced data engineer like you to help our clients find answers in their data to impact important missions—from personnel security, to insider threat, to industrial security, and ultimately to national intelligence.   

 

Our Team is developing a cloud native data mesh and data layer to support implementation of an agency-wide enterprise data strategy, including data discovery, data sharing, and comprehensive data governance. The system will include the ability for data owners to control their own data within the ecosystem within “producer domains” and publish data to internal and external data users through “consumer domains”.  

 

As a data engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll help build advanced technology solutions and implement data engineering activities on some of the most mission-driven projects in the industry. You’ll deploy and develop pipelines and platforms that organize and make disparate data meaningful.

You’ll use your experience in analytical exploration and data examination while you manage the assessment, design, building, and maintenance of scalable platforms for your clients.
