Database Systems: Deep understanding of distributed systems internals, LSM trees, column-family stores, and lakehouse storage formats (Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi).
Data Modeling: Enterprise data strategy, conceptual-to-physical data modeling, and streaming data schema contracts.
Programming & Scripting: Mastery of Python, Scala, SQL, and Go for high-performance data platform development.
Containerization: Advanced Kubernetes cluster management, custom operators for data platforms, and service mesh integration.
Agile Frameworks: Proven experience acting as a Technical Lead or Scrum Master directing engineering pods.
Multi-Cloud Architecture: Advanced experience architecting multi-cloud and hybrid cloud data platform solutions (IaC via Terraform).
Security Scanning Tooling: Deep understanding of DevSecOps pipelines, automated compliance testing, and secret rotation management.

Desired Qualifications:

Advanced Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, CISSP, or Databricks Certified Professional Data Engineer.
Proven track record architecting data solutions for deployment in air-gapped or high-assurance defense networks.

Position Clearance Requirement:

US Citizenship with an active TS/SCI security clearance with Full-Scope Polygraph
