Staff Data Engineer

Job Description Summary

The Staff Data Engineer builds the hands-on technical backbone of the Defense & Systems Data Fabric: automated metadata ingestion, API and connector integrations, and the policy enforcement engine that turns governance rules into enforced behavior. The role onboards and manages the technical operations of data products in the fabric.

Architecture standards come from the Principal Data Architect and governance policy comes from the Sr Principal Technical Product Manager; this role builds to both. Success improves Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost by making data flow reliably and access enforcement provable across hybrid cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.
