The Role
Develop, sustain, and monitor operational data pipelines supporting NGA’s Maven program. Query systems and migrate data through APIs, work across SQL/NoSQL databases and cloud architectures, troubleshoot integration issues, and maintain reliable data movement across formats and interfaces. Communicate technical dependencies and recommendations to stakeholders. The role requires an active TS/SCI clearance and extensive relevant experience, with preferred expertise in NGA solutions, MLOps, ATO processes, SAFe, and dynamic visualizations.
Summary Generated by Built In
Getting data where it needs to go is one challenge. Keeping it moving reliably as systems, formats, and mission needs evolve takes a deeper understanding of how everything connects.
You’ve built that understanding through experience, developing pipelines, working through integration challenges, and making decisions that others depend on. You know that a change in one system can affect the next, and you take the time to understand those dependencies before moving forward.
This is a rare chance to join us as an Expert Data Scientist to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Maven program, supporting imagery acquisition, imagery curation, and data transformation within its model development process. Your work will help keep the data behind that process connected, accessible, and moving reliably. You’ll develop, sustain, and monitor operational data pipelines, use APIs to query systems and migrate information, and work across databases and cloud architectures. When a pipeline fails or an interface change, your ability to trace the problem and work toward a lasting solution will matter to the people and processes relying on that data. Your contribution also includes helping others understand the decisions ahead. You’ll explain technical challenges, make dependencies clear, and communicate recommendations so the team can move forward with a shared understanding.
