The Senior Administrator and Developer works within the Data Platforms Team to modernize decision-making for a large-scale federal agency while providing support for current day applications. This role bridges the gap between data engineering and mission strategy by providing day-to-day Business Intelligence (BI) operations and maintenance support, Data Services workflows and ETL pipelines and designing and integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) based enhancements.

• Readiness & Quality QA: Conduct data readiness and quality assessments-covering lineage, completeness, and governance-while diagnosing and fixing data anomalies.
• Pilot & Scale AI MVPs: Lead rapid AI model prototyping, technical demonstrations, and MVP pilots, transitioning successful solutions into scalable production environments.
• Process Automation: Integrate AI/ML capabilities into existing workflow automation and data platforms to reduce manual agency efforts.
