Job Summary

The DataOps Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and operationalizing data infrastructure that powers the organization's analytics and business intelligence capabilities. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, cloud architecture, and DevOps - owning end-to-end data pipelines, platform reliability, data quality, and cloud infrastructure in a regulated environment. Responsibilities span data pipeline development, cloud migrations, platform operations, and infrastructure management across multi-cloud environments.

The ideal candidate is fluent in hands on coding of Python or PowerShell, experienced with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), and comfortable owning both data engineering and cloud infrastructure responsibilities in a cleared, compliance-driven environment. This is a remote position based in the US requiring the ability to obtain a US Government Clearance.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Migration & Infrastructure

• Lead the end-to-end migration of data workloads from AWS Commercial to AWS GovCloud, including S3, Glue, Redshift, IAM, VPC, Lambda, and CloudWatch.

• Identify and resolve service parity gaps between commercial and GovCloud environments; validate data integrity, encryption posture, and access controls post-migration.

• Set up and administer enterprise Git repositories (GitHub, Azure DevOps, or GitLab) for the data and analytics team, including branching strategy, access controls, and code review workflows.

• Migrate existing scripts, pipelines, and artifacts into version-controlled repositories and enforce DataOps source control best practices across the team.

• Ensure all migrated and provisioned resources comply with NIST 800-171, DFARS, CUI, and ITAR/EAR handling requirements.

• Administer and optimize cloud data services across AWS GovCloud (S3, Glue, Redshift, Lambda) and Azure Government (Synapse, ADF, ADLS Gen2, Databricks).

• Manage infrastructure-as-code for all data platform resources using Terraform and CloudFormation (required); Ansible preferred for configuration management.

• Monitor cloud resource utilization, enforce cost governance, and implement right-sizing recommendations for data workloads.

• Maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures for all data platform services.

• Serve as Tier 3 support for complex cloud infrastructure and data incidents; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures.

Data Pipeline Development & Orchestration

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ELT/ETL pipelines using Microsoft Fabric Data Factory, Azure Data Factory, Apache Airflow, and DBT.

• Architect end-to-end data flows from ingestion through transformation to serving layers, ensuring reliability, lineage, and observability.

• Implement real-time and batch data streaming using Apache Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, and Fabric Eventstream.

• Automate pipeline monitoring, alerting, and self-healing mechanisms to minimize manual intervention.

Microsoft Fabric Platform Ownership

• Serve as a platform engineer for Microsoft Fabric, including OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, and Fabric Notebooks.

• Design and govern OneLake architecture including workspace topology, shortcut strategy, and medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) layer design.

• Integrate Fabric with enterprise systems including Microsoft 365 GCC High, Azure Government, Dynamics 365, and third-party data sources.

• Configure Fabric capacity management, workspace permissions, and security in alignment with NIST 800-171 and DFARS requirements.

Data Architecture & Modeling

• Lead the design of enterprise data models including star schema, snowflake schema, and Data Vault 2.0 patterns.

• Architect Lakehouse, data warehouse, and data mesh topologies to serve analytical, operational, and reporting workloads.

• Define and enforce naming conventions, semantic layer standards, and reusable data assets using Power BI semantic models and Fabric Direct Lake.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable data architecture solutions.

DataOps Practices & CI/CD

• Implement DataOps principles: automated testing, version-controlled pipelines, and continuous delivery for data assets.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) for deploying data pipelines, models, and Fabric artifacts.

• Write and maintain automation scripts in Python and/or PowerShell to support migration, provisioning, and operational workflows.

• Containerize and orchestrate workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS) for portable, scalable processing.

Data Quality & Governance

• Implement data quality frameworks including automated profiling, validation rules, anomaly detection, and SLA monitoring.

• Manage data lineage, metadata cataloging, and access governance using Microsof
