Data Engineer

Most data engineering jobs are maintenance. This one is construction. You would be standing up ETL on Databricks and Spark for a National Guard analytics platform that is still being built, designing the models, setting the governance, and deciding how it works rather than inheriting a decade of someone else's decisions.

FWI is hiring a Data Engineer to support enterprise data analytics and AI/ML modernization for the National Guard Bureau, part of a larger Office of the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness (OUSW(P&R)) data analytics program. You will design, build, and maintain the data infrastructure behind a National Guard community data and analytics environment, the pipelines, models, and governance that make enterprise personnel and readiness data usable. This is hands-on pipeline engineering at enterprise scale, on a platform where data quality has direct operational consequences.

FWI is expanding rapidly and has been recognized as a 2024, 2025, and 2026 Top Workplace, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment.

$115,000 – $125,000 annually, depending on experience, education, and clearance level.
