Mission System Data Architect

The Opportunity

For an organization to transform in today’s digital world, it needs to properly collect, store, and organize its data. Effective data management can enable more efficient operations, yielding more growth. As a data architect, you know how to apply your creative-thinking and analytical mindset to help organizations manage their data assets. We’re looking for a data architecture lead to solve complex challenges and deliver leading-edge solutions for national security.

As a data architect on our national security team, you’ll use your extensive technical expertise to lead the design of data architecture solutions for large‑scale data solutions such as ingest, analytics, enrichment, and security. You’ll resolve routine data architecture‑related issues in collaboration with business analysts and technology teams by optimizing data ingest pipelines, working with project teams to identify optimal storage—including size and cost tradeoffs—and structure—including search, discovery, and analytics—and making recommendations on data architecture enhancements.

In this role, you’ll share your technical expertise, introduce best practices, and use tools like SQL and near real‑time data streaming to design data models and standards, ETL pipelines, metrics collection and reporting, and to leverage AI to extract more insights from data. You’ll lead your team as it designs, defines, develops, and tests cloud solution components, and you’ll serve as a liaison between clients and developers to ensure that requirements are met and solutions are delivered.
