Job Description

We are hiring a Data Engineer to build the data infrastructure powering our predictive analytics initiative. You will create the pipelines that turn raw vessel tracking data into training datasets for ML models. The core challenge: we have rich behavioral data (vessel positions, AIS gaps, ship-to-ship transfers, spoofing events) but limited labeled outcomes (confirmed violations, detentions, seizures). You will build pipelines that create usable training data through proxy labels, data joins, and outcome correlation. 

Responsibilities
• Build labeling pipelines that join behavioral events to outcome data (sanctions designations, flag changes,
detentions)
• Implement proxy labeling strategies that create training signal from observable outcomes
• Build weak supervision infrastructure to combine multiple noisy labeling rules
• Create and maintain ML training datasets at scale
• Build data validation and quality monitoring systems
• Implement versioning for reproducible model training
• Integrate LRIT position data for prediction validation
• Build pipelines that compare predicted locations against actual LRIT reports
• Create feedback loops that improve model accuracy over time
• Scale data infrastructure as models and data sources grow

Required Skill
• 4+ years data engineering experience
• Strong SQL skills, including complex joins across large datasets
• Experience with Spark, Airflow, or equivalent distributed processing frameworks
• Python for data processing and pipeline orchestration
• AWS experience
• Understanding of ML training data requirements

Education/Certifications
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
Desired Skills (Not Required)
• Experience with geospatial data (PostGIS, H3, spatial joins)
• Maritime, defense, or intelligence domain experience
• Experience with data labeling infrastructure or weak supervision
• Familiarity with real-time streaming data systems

Important:

Must be a U.S. citizen and a U.S. resident

This job works on a hybrid work modality (San Juan, Puerto Rico)

Must have a valid driver's license
