Senior Data Engineer – Databricks, Security & Governance

United States · remote · USD 112000-179000 annual

Role overview

Responsibilities

Peraton's Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.

Peraton is seeking a Database Engineer SME with expertise in cloud data platforms and federal data governance to lead the database design, security implementation, and production migration for a federal data integration program. You will serve as the database authority for the project, ensuring all data is handled in compliance with federal security and governance standards within a hybrid AWS cloud environment.
