## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer to join our Data team and enable reliable, governed, and high-performing data products on the Army enterprise data platforms. This role plays a crucial part in improving decision-making, readiness visibility, and reporting across Army missions by focusing on data ingestion, transformation, cleaning, quality checks, lineage, and production operations of data while maintaining compliance with platform governance and DoD security requirements.

As the Data Engineer, you will build and operate data pipelines for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources. You'll be cleaning and preparing raw data to ensure accuracy and consistency, followed by applying transformations such as normalization, joins, and incremental loads to create reliable and optimized datasets for downstream analytics and reporting.

The role also requires implementing robust systems for data-quality checks, lineage capture, and monitoring, while troubleshooting pipeline failures through root-cause analysis. You will create and maintain incident response runbooks and optimize routine operations. The position will also involve analyzing and adhering to governance practices, such as permissions management, encryption protocols, and audit logging, ensuring compliance with DoD policies and standards.

Collaboration will be essential, as you will translate mission requirements into technical solutions, develop design documentation for platform adoption, and partner with stakeholders to uphold data quality and governance standards. Using Army data tools, including Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, Workshop, Slate, and Machinery, you'll deliver robust, scalable data products that drive Army readiness and success.
