The DataOps Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and operationalizing data infrastructure that powers the organization's analytics and business intelligence capabilities.
This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, cloud architecture, and DevOps - owning end-to-end data pipelines, platform reliability, data quality, and cloud infrastructure in a regulated environment.
Responsibilities span data pipeline development, cloud migrations, platform operations, and infrastructure management across multi-cloud environments.
Lead the end-to-end migration of data workloads from AWS Commercial to AWS GovCloud, including S3, Glue, Redshift, IAM, VPC, Lambda, and CloudWatch.

Migrate existing scripts, pipelines, and artifacts into version-controlled repositories and enforce DataOps source control best practices across the team.
Ensure all migrated and provisioned resources comply with NIST 800-171, DFARS, CUI, and ITAR/EAR handling requirements.
Administer and optimize cloud data services across AWS GovCloud (S3, Glue, Redshift, Lambda) and Azure Government (Synapse, ADF, ADLS Gen2, Databricks).
Manage infrastructure-as-code for all data platform resources using Terraform and CloudFormation (required); Ansible preferred for configuration management.
Monitor cloud resource utilization, enforce cost governance, and implement right-sizing recommendations for data workloads.
Maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures for all data platform services.
Serve as Tier 3 support for complex cloud infrastructure and data incidents; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
