Data & Microsoft Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

Sciolex Corporation is seeking a motivated and adaptable individual to support and evolve our internal data and technology environment within the Microsoft ecosystem. This role goes beyond traditional reporting or narrowly defined responsibilities.

• Work within a Microsoft-based environment, including SharePoint and Azure-hosted systems
• Create and maintain SharePoint Sites, Lists, and Libraries
• Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions
• Build and improve internal tools, workflows, and automation
• Troubleshoot and enhance existing systems and processes
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate needs into technical solutions
• Identify and implement opportunities to leverage modern technologies, including generative AI
• Enable intelligent search, retrieval, and summarization of internal data and documents
• Integrate structured and unstructured data to improve decision-making
• Prototype and iterate on new solutions that improve internal efficiency and knowledge access

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, IT and/or similar fields
• Strong database skills (SQL Server, relational design, query optimization)
• Experience working in a Microsoft-based environment (e.g., SharePoint, Power BI, Azure exposure)
• Strong problem‑solving ability and analytical thinking
• Self-starter with the ability to take ownership and operate in an open-ended role
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Development experience (e.g., Python, C#, APIs, or similar)
• Must be able to work onsite at our Chantilly, VA HQ
• Must be a US Citizen; we cannot sponsor work visas

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to or interest in generative AI and document-based search solutions
• Experience building internal tools or automating business processes
• Familiarity with handling unstructured data (documents, file systems, SharePoint content)
