  • 5+ years of professional data engineering experience and a bachelor's degree (or 3+ years with a related advanced degree).
  • Strong Python (pandas, PySpark) and SQL and experience building reproducible, testable data transformations.
  • Hands-on expertise with Azure Synapse Analytics (Notebooks / SQL / Spark) and ADLS Gen2.
  • Production experience with Synapse or Azure Data Factory, Functions, and Logic Apps for event-driven orchestration.
  • Solid data architecture fundamentals (lakehouse patterns, partitioning, schema management) and performance tuning at scale.
  • Data quality, lineage, and governance mindset; familiarity with Microsoft Purview or equivalent catalog / lineage tooling.
  • Version control (Git) and CI / CD practices (e.g., Azure DevOps) for data solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, help-seeking / help-giving approach in a Scrum team.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience integrating with AWS data services (S3, Glue / Glue Data Catalog, Lambda) and / or cross-cloud data patterns.
  • Experience enabling BI / analytics (Power BI, model design, RLS) and supporting analysts with performant datasets.
  • Experience building observability for data systems (usage / cost telemetry, data SLAs, pipeline health dashboards).
  • Familiarity with MDM and reference data concepts and enterprise governance.
  • Relevant certifications : Microsoft Azure Data Engineer (DP-203), Azure Enterprise Data Analyst, or AWS data certifications.
  • Existing Federal government clearance.

    • How We Work

  • Team-first : seek help early, offer help freely, and elevate team standards through code reviews, pairing, and documentation.
  • Outcome-driven : measure impact (performance, quality, cycle time) and iterate on process and tooling to increase value delivery.

    • Legal notices : Federal law requires AEM and its affiliates to verify identity and employment eligibility with information from your Form I-9. The E-Verify system is used.
