About the role

We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.

Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.

An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.

We’ll keep you sharp and moving forward in your career with access to the latest tools and methods and opportunities to publish or present at conferences. Whether you’re improving government efficiency or providing better services to the public, you’ll lead a team that serves missions from end to end.
