The role centers on modern cloud data platforms - with BigQuery as the primary analytical data warehouse - supporting the client's enterprise reporting, AI/ML, and program management data needs.\nThis role is part of Northramp’s integrated delivery model, where engineers and advisors work as one team to bring sound judgment, disciplined execution, and deep federal experience to high-stakes modernization programs.\nLocation & Work Arrangement\nHybrid, based in the Washington, DC metro area. On-site presence at designated client locations is expected on a cadence aligned to program needs. Remote work is supported around mission and security requirements. This role is not open to candidates outside the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region.\nThe Ideal Candidate\nYou build data pipelines that run reliably in production - not just demos. You’ve designed schemas and ingestion pipelines against messy, real-world source systems, you understand data quality as an engineering discipline, and you can work comfortably within the access controls and compliance requirements of a federal environment.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, build, and maintain scalable ELT/ETL data pipelines ingesting structured and semi-structured data from cloud services, APIs, databases, and file sources into BigQuery and other cloud data warehouses.\nDevelop and manage data models, schemas, and transformation logic using dbt (data build tool), SQL, and Python; enforce testing and documentation standards across the data layer.\nImplement and operate pipeline orchestration using Apache Airflow (Cloud Composer), Prefect, or equivalent; monitor pipeline health, SLA adherence, and failure alerting.\nIntegrate data platforms with upstream source systems including cloud-native services (AWS RDS, Azure SQL, GCS/S3), operational databases, and third-party SaaS APIs.\nImplement data access controls, column-level security, and encryption within BigQuery and related cloud storage services aligned to FedRAMP High and FISMA requirements.\nBuild and maintain data cataloging and lineage metadata practices to support data governance and auditability requirements.\nCollaborate with Data Scientists and analysts to ensure data availability, schema stability, and performance of analytical workloads.\nDevelop and maintain infrastructure-as-code for data platform components using Terraform; participate in CI/CD pipeline integration for data assets.\nSupport data quality frameworks - profiling, anomaly detection, and SLA monitoring - across production data pipelines.\nContribute to ATO documentation and data security controls including data classification, retention policies, and audit logging.\nRequirements\nRequired Qualifications\n3 to 6 years of progressive, hands-on experience in data engineering with a focus on cloud data platforms and pipeline development.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics, or a related field. Relevant experience may substitute.\nStrong SQL skills and hands-on experience with BigQuery as an analytical data warehouse; familiarity with BigQuery optimization (partitioning, clustering, materialized views).\nProficiency in Python for data engineering tasks.\nWorking knowledge of data services from at least one major cloud provider.\nUnderstanding of data modeling principles and schema design for analytical workloads.\nFamiliarity with data governance concepts - cataloging, lineage, access controls, retention - and their application in regulated environments.\nKnowledge of FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 data security requirements.\nU.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DHS suitability / Public Trust clearance.\nEligible to work in the United States.\nDesired Qualifications\nExperience with dbt for data transformation and modeling in cloud warehouse environments.\nHands-on experience with pipeline orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow or Cloud Composer.\nGoogle Cloud Professional Data Engineer certification.\nAWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty or Azure Data Engineer Associate.\nSecurity+ or equivalent certification.\nExperience with streaming data platforms (Pub/Sub, Kafka, Kinesis).\nDHS, or other federal data engineering experience.\nActive Public Trust or higher clearance.\nClearance\nDHS suitability and a Public Trust background investigation are required for this role. Active Public Trust or higher clearance is preferred. Selected applicants will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to controlled or classified information.\nBenefits\nHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)\nRetirement Plan (401k, IRA)\nLife Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)\nPaid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)\nFamily Leave (Maternity, Paternity)\nShort Term & Long Term Disability\nTraining & Development\nWork From Home\nWellness Resources\nEmployee Bonus Programs","description_format":"text","description_chars":5298,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Life insurance","Parental leave","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T00:59:26Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-24T22:08:45Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-11-05T17:36:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":8,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/northramp-data-engineer-bigquery","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/northramp-data-engineer-bigquery.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T12:29:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22700,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":682392},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=682392"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnorthramp-data-engineer-bigquery"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnorthramp-data-engineer-bigquery"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnorthramp-data-engineer-bigquery"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/northramp-data-engineer-bigquery\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnorthramp-data-engineer-bigquery"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":690941}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"northramp.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":690941},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
