We are looking for a Data Architect to own the design, governance, and continued evolution of the enterprise data architecture that powers analytics, reporting, and operational insight across our organization and for our DoD clients.\nAs a Data Architect, you'll be the go-to expert for data modeling, governance, and architecture across stakeholders, making sure every data asset we build is well-modeled, documented, discoverable, and trustworthy. You set the standards, and you help the team hold to them from design through deployment.\nThis is a hands-on technical role. Our architecture, pipelines, and tooling are built on modern Python frameworks. You'll be designing schemas, optimizing queries, and making data modeling decisions that the rest of the team builds on every day.\nThe role also carries meaningful project leadership and client-facing responsibility. You'll play a key part in new client intake, engaging directly with prospective and new customers to understand their data landscape, asking the right questions, and applying critical thinking to model their environment and shape data solutions that fit their mission. You'll also lead client data maturity assessments from start to finish: scoping the engagement against the statement of work, evaluating client data systems, modeling their current-state architecture, and delivering actionable recommendations and roadmaps on schedule. You'll work in a fast-paced, agile environment where deliverables are requirements-driven and schedule-bound, partnering closely with team leads, engineers, analysts, and stakeholders to maintain high quality and timeliness of deliverables.\nWhat You'll Work On:\nOwn the enterprise data model, ensuring all production data assets are properly modeled, documented, and governed, with complete schemas and lineage.\n\nDesign and enforce data governance standards, including assisting with naming conventions, quality controls, access policies, and metadata management, and hold the deployment gate so new assets meet standards before reaching production.\n\nDefine and maintain the data catalog so every team knows what data exists, where it lives, and how to use it.\n\nLead data quality monitoring, including owning the rules, thresholds, and remediation process, and driving issues to resolution within defined service levels.\n\nSupport new client intake by engaging with prospective and new customers to understand their data environment, coordinating with squad leads and analysts on what's feasible, and applying critical thinking to model and design data solutions tailored to each customer's needs.\n\nLead client-facing data maturity assessments end to end, including plan and manage the engagement timeline, evaluate client data systems, score maturity, and deliver recommendations and actionable roadmaps.\n\nCommunicate clearly in both directions, including presenting architecture findings and recommendations to clients, and coordinating across the team so engineers and analysts have what they need to execute.\n\nSupport cross-functional mission teams by validating data model decisions, reviewing architecture choices, and ensuring governance compliance.\n\nDesign and build data solutions using Python and SQL.\n\nEvaluate and recommend data tools, storage strategies, and architectural patterns as the team scales, delivering recommendations with cost or benefit analysis.\n\nParticipate in quarterly technical debt reviews and security and compliance audits, helping ensure architecture health and DoD compliance requirements are met.\n\nJoin us. The world can’t wait.\nYou Have:\n5+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or analytics engineering, including ownership of enterprise or program-level data models\n\nExperience with SQL and database, including data modeling, such as dimensional modeling, normalization, or schema design, query optimization, and working with relational databases and cloud data platforms\n\nExperience with Python data frameworks for data processing, transformation, and automation\n\nExperience designing and governing data architectures in AWS-based environments\n\nExperience in assisting with establishing and enforcing data governance practices, data quality frameworks, metadata management, data cataloging, lineage, and access policies\n\nExperience with ETL and ELT processes and modern data pipeline architectures\n\nExperience with project management, including planning and delivering schedule-bound technical engagements or assessments against a statement of work or charter\n\nAbility to use critical thinking and solution-design to take an unfamiliar customer data environment, model it, and shape a practical architecture and roadmap\n\nAbility to obtain a Secret clearance\n\nBachelor's degree\n\nNice If You Have:\nExperience supporting DoD test & evaluation (T&E) programs or similar requirements-driven delivery environments\n\nExperience with AWS data services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, or Lake Formation\n\nExperience conducting data maturity, readiness, or current-state architecture assessments for external clients\n\nExperience with data governance and catalog tooling, including data catalogs, lineage tools, or metadata management platforms\n\nExperience with data warehouse or lakehouse architectures and orchestration or transformation frameworks such as Airflow or dbt\n\nExperience mentoring engineers or analysts on data modeling and governance practices\n\nKnowledge of AI/ML workflows and the data architecture patterns that support them\n\nPossession of strong client-facing communication skills, to engage new customers, present findings and recommendations to senior technical and non-technical stakeholders, and coordinate across internal teams\n\nTop Secret clearance\n\nClearance:\nApplicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.\nCompensation\nAt Booz Allen, we celebrate your contributions, provide you with opportunities and choices, and support your total well-being.
