About the role
Agile Defense in Arlington, VA is seeking a Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain secure data pipelines and analytics-ready datasets for mission-critical workloads.
You will collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and stakeholders, applying ETL/ELT, Spark, Databricks, Palantir Foundry, and related platforms to transform structured and unstructured data.
This onsite role requires US citizenship with an active Secret clearance; the position is full-time and onsite in a SCIF.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
