About The Position

This role involves designing, developing, and maintaining enterprise data ingestion pipelines, onboarding workflows, and API-based data services. The primary goal is to enable standardized and repeatable data intake into the Data Platform. Key activities include implementing intake and onboarding solutions that cover the entire lifecycle from discovery to technical design, modernizing legacy data ingestion pipelines with AWS and Databricks lakehouse architecture, and developing API-driven data services for secure data exchange. The position also requires building and maintaining production-ready pipelines with robust logging, auditability, and monitoring, collaborating with cloud engineering teams, and contributing to governance and compliance practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree is required
• Minimum SEVEN (7) years of experience in application and data engineering, including strong hands-on development in Java and enterprise integration frameworks.
• Minimum FIVE (5) years of experience with ETL tools (e.g., Informatica) developing and maintaining large-scale data ingestion pipelines.
• Experience designing and implementing data ingestion pipelines and onboarding workflows for structured and semi-structured data sources.
• Strong experience integrating legacy data systems with cloud-based platforms, including AWS services (e.g., S3, IAM, networking) and modern lakehouse architectures.
• Experience building and maintaining API-based integration services for enterprise data exchange and system interoperability.
• Experience implementing production-grade solutions with logging, auditing, error handling, and reliability patterns aligned to enterprise operations requirements.
• Familiarity with secure development practices, including access controls, encryption, and compliance requirements in regulated environments (e.g., FISMA, FedRAMP High).

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting enterprise data intake and onboarding services within a governed data platform or similar large-scale data modernization effort.
• Experience integrating with Databricks lakehouse architecture, including ingestion into Delta Lake and downstream analytics enablement.
• Familiarity with streaming and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis, EventBridge) for near real-time data ingestion.
• Experience with DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and controlled deployments across environments.
• Exposure to enterprise metadata, lineage, and catalog tooling supporting governed data platforms.
• Experience supporting federal clients or working in highly regulated environments with strict data protection and audit requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain enterprise data ingestion pipelines, onboarding workflows, and API-based data services using Java and ETL platforms (e.g., Informatica).
• Implement intake and onboarding solutions that support end-to-end lifecycle activities, including discovery, requirements analysis, source system profiling, and technical design.
• Modernize and integrate legacy data ingestion pipelines with AWS and Databricks lakehouse architecture, supporting batch and near real-time ingestion patterns.
• Develop and expose API-driven data services and integration patterns to facilitate secure data exchange across enterprise systems, analytics platforms, and downstream consumers.
• Build and maintain production-ready ingestion pipelines and onboarding frameworks that meet technical, security, and documentation requirements.
• Implement robust logging, auditability, and monitoring capabilities across ingestion and integration workflows.
• Collaborate with cloud engineering and platform operations teams to integrate ingestion pipelines with AWS services (e.g., S3, messaging/streaming services).
• Contribute to governance and compliance practices by incorporating data classification, access control patterns, and lineage updates.
