Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Data Infrastructure Engineer to spearhead the modernization of the unclassified OSINT data layer, expanding an enterprise data lake into a community-wide data hub. You will architect scalable ingestion, storage, and data-sharing solutions on AWS, driving new access patterns, performance optimizations, and AI-powered data enrichments. If you're ready to solve large-scale data challenges and elevate OSINT capabilities through cutting-edge infrastructure, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

You may thrive in this role if you have:

• A strong software engineering foundation with 4+ years of Java and Spring Framework experience, emphasizing robust testing practices and clean architecture.

• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services, including S3, DynamoDB, EKS/Kubernetes, DocumentDB, Lambda, Timestream, and CloudWatch.

• Experience operating production systems at terabyte-to-petabyte scale, optimizing data propagation, versioning, and distributed access.

• A passion for system observability, with expertise in monitoring and alerting mechanisms for data pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk).

• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK), ensuring scalable and repeatable deployments.

• Strong problem-solving skills in tackling complex architectural challenges and influencing technical decisions across multiple teams.

• A self-starter mindset, demonstrating leadership in delivering high-impact solutions and aligning engineering efforts with mission objectives.

You may excel in this role if you have:

• An active Secret clearance, with the ability to upgrade to TS/SCI with Polygraph.

• Familiarity with intelligence workflows, data discovery, and unclassified OSINT operations.

• Experience leading cross-functional technical initiatives and driving best practices across engineering teams.

• Effective communication and collaboration skills to engage with stakeholders at various levels.
