## Description

Are you a senior engineer interested in expanding the use of open-source intelligence (OSINT) data for end users and data scientists across the Intelligence Community?
We're hiring a Senior Data Platform Engineer to help expand our AWS- and Kubernetes-based data lake into a community-wide data hub. Our goal is to modernize the unclassified OSINT data layer by developing new access patterns and services that support AI/ML enrichment, ETL pipelines, and data discovery and dissemination.

If you are excited about building next-generation, scalable data architecture and applying your knowledge of the AWS ecosystem, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What You'll Do in This Role

 * Build backend services using Java and the Spring ecosystem
 * Develop cloud-native solutions using AWS
 * Contribute to full-stack development using React and Next.js
 * Support event-driven architectures and distributed systems
 * Work across multiple projects within the data platform and data pipeline unit
 * Follow established Infrastructure as Code and Kubernetes patterns using technologies such as Terraform and Terragrunt
 * Collaborate with DevOps teams on infrastructure-related initiatives
 * Help modernize and expand data access, metadata services, and platform capabilities
