Data Engineer

Rapid Cycle Solutions LLC (RCS) is an innovative small business providing IT and management consulting services to the U.S. Federal Government and commercial clients. We have unique strengths in complex, cross-organizational solution analysis, design, development, implementation, and change management supporting enterprise requirements. Our team of professionals has deep consulting backgrounds supporting the unique needs of our clients. Our team members have proven experience leading strategic initiatives within the civilian Government agencies.

RCS is seeking aData Engineerto provide technical support with expertise in data engineering, data management, systems engineering, and software engineering to support the data platform.

This position requires the candidate to work onsite in McLean, VA. Relocation assistance is not available.

What you will do:

Sustain and enhance, as well as modernize with direction, the ecosystem of existing capabilities for ingesting and exploiting high-volumes of disparate datasets at near-real time, correlating with the historical holdings, and enabling querying via ad hoc and recurring jobs dependent on complex data model(s).

Ensure the existing ecosystem of capabilities dependent on “core” data sets, data models, intermediate data models, data ingestion pipelines (Extract, Transform, Load (ETL)) and data governance are sustained at the same (or better) levels.

The ecosystem of connected systems, capabilities, analytics, and workflows shall not have downtimes greater than eight (8) hours. Outages during core hours (0700 – 1600 hours) shall have immediate mitigation and resolution. Outages occurring during non-core hours (1600 – 0700 hours) shall require on call support. Outages during non-core hours shall require on call support response within two (2) hours of catastrophic events and immediate triage for non-catastrophic events during core hours.

Use project management systems, such as GIT, JIRA, and Confluence, to document and track requirements.

In making their requirements determination, should consider the following:

Responsiveness to ad hoc fluid operations requirements to create and deliver new and unique capabilities, data products, intermediate data models, assessments, and findings that can be derived from the data collection capability.

Integrating and transitioning new technologies in coordination, and new capabilities that are accessible to a broader user base across the Mission Partners.

Required Qualifications/Education:

Clearance: Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph

Write ad-hoc code on very short timelines to address new circumstances.

Support downstream systems and capabilities of external organizations dependent on the data platform via various approaches, to include application programming interfaces (APIs).

On an ongoing basis, develop integration plans that capitalize on new data processing, modeling, and storage technologies including the cloud environments.

With oversight, deliver new methodologies, solutions, capabilities, and products to derive more and accurate value from data.

Evaluate data collections to assess the potential value-add to the data platform to recommend.

Evaluate data collections and ensure data transformation across the pipeline results in accurate, user-facing results within the applications.

Generate assessments about data, support activities to perform data acquisition and engineering, and enable the processing of data so it is integrated into data platform systems for maximum value.

Sustain and with oversight, evolve and modernize the intermediate data models to grow and advance their use by downstream systems and capabilities dependent on the data.

Perform and support data modeling and engineering activities for integration of new data into the data platforms data corpus, refining existing models and intermediate models to address deficiencies and defects, and with oversight, creating new models and data feeds to support existing and new analytic methodologies.

Create methods for measuring tool usage, effectiveness, and usage trends.

Produce visual reference demonstrating mission use by component and person.

Nice to Have Qualifications:

Enterprise Control Language (ECL) and the Lexis-Nexis High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC) platform.

Performing All-Source data analysis to perform analytic support.

Developing custom algorithms to support analytic requirements against massive data stores support.

Supporting and performing technical analysis support using massive data processing systems.

Writing cables.

Planning and coordinating program activities such as installation and upgrading of hardware and software, utilization of cloud services, programming, or systems design development, modification of IT networks, or implementation of Internet and intranet sites.

Deploying web applications to a cloud managed environment to include DevOps and security configuration management.

Developing, implementing, and maintaining cloud infrastructure services such as EC2, ELB, RDS, S3, and VPC.

Planning, coordinating, and executing the required activities to support documentation to meet the data compliance requirements (e.g., legal, data policy)

Degree(s):

Undergraduate degree in mathematics, computer science, engineering, or similar scientific or technical discipline.

Graduate degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or another scientific or technical discipline.

Degree or equivalent in CS, MIS, Economics, Physics, Genetics, or Engineering related field, especially Supercomputing-related.
