What Impact You’ll Have

GRVTY’s team provides tactical data engineering solutions. We embed skilled Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and ETL Developers directly into intelligence analyst groups to be their go-to data wranglers. We develop new tools, code, and services to execute data engineering activities. Our engineers work to collect, process, and feed analytic tools, turning data into intelligence in response to immediate mission needs, with direct impact on real world situations. You will see your work used here on a daily basis, and you'll have the opportunity to support a variety of Sponsor mission organizations and mission partner organizations.
This is a time of development and growth on the program, with an increasing number of missions being supported. The work is high impact and important, and the customer moves quickly. The environment is fast-paced, flexible, and open to innovation - you'll have more latitude here in choosing how to achieve results than on many other projects. The customer cares more about what you can do as opposed to your years of
experience, and work hours are typically quite flexible - roll up your sleeves, get things done, and no one cares much about the specific hours that you work. The work space itself is also quite nice, and there is an excellent cafeteria! The tech stack on this team is rather huge and includes Python (Pandas, numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, standard libraries, etc.), Python packages that wrap Machine Learning (packages for NLP, Object Detection, etc.), Linux, AWS/C2S, Apache NiFi, Spark, pySpark, Hadoop, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Solr, Kibana, neo4J, MariaDB, Postgres, Docker, Puppet, and many others. Work on this program takes place in McLean, VA and in various field offices throughout Northern VA (we cannot support remote work) and requires a TS/SCI + Polygraph clearance (acceptable to this customer).

Snowflake Architect

Role Summary:

We are seeking a Snowflake Architect to design, evolve, and maintain the data platforms that power our analytics and risk intelligence products. This role blends traditional data administration with modern data architecture — focusing not only on managing data systems, but also on shaping how data is modeled, governed, and integrated across our platforms.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect the evolution of our data ecosystem, helping to design and implement a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold layers) to support scalable, traceable data movement and quality monitoring.
• Plan and coordinate data cadences, ensuring that data ingestion and transformation processes are efficiently synchronized across layers.
• Lead the transition toward a hybrid data architecture based on AWS S3, Apache Iceberg, Polaris, and Trino (or similar query engine) — while maintaining and optimizing our existing Snowflake environment during the transition.
• Design and govern data models that support both analytical and operational workloads, balancing cost, performance, and scalability.
• Collaborate with developers and analysts to define end-to-end data integration processes using ETL/ELT frameworks for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
• Administer and optimize Snowflake environments — including warehouse sizing, data clustering, cost optimization, and user access management — while planning for gradual migration of workloads to open table formats and object storage.
• Develop and maintain data infrastructure as code using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines to automate deployment, configuration and management of data resources.
• Evaluate and implement data cataloging, governance, and lineage tools, with an emphasis on Polaris for metadata and discovery.
• Perform ongoing analysis of data storage and query performance to improve efficiency, cost, and maintainability.

What You Need:

• 5+ years of experience in data architecture, warehousing, or administration.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Snowflake, including performance tuning, cost optimization, and security.
• Strong experience with query engines such as Trino, Athena, or Presto, and metadata catalogs such as Polaris or AWS Glue Catalog.
• Experience designing and maintaining data lakes and open table formats (e.g., Iceberg, Delta, or Hudi).
• Expertise in AWS data services — particularly S3, Glue, IAM, Lambda, SQS, SNS, and Secrets Manager.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, schema design, and ELT/ETL best practices.
• Hands-on experience with Python or Java for automation and data pipeline development.
• Experience with streaming data ingestion (Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work across data engineering, DevOps, and analytics teams.
• Experience with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and modern data orchestration tools (e.g., Airbyte, Matillion, or Airflow).

What's Nice to Have:

• AWS or Snowflake certifications (SnowPro, AWS Data Analytics, or Solutions Architect).
• Experience implementing data governance and lineage solutions.
• Understanding of data mesh and federated data architecture principles.
• Experience in federal or regulated environments where compliance, traceability, and data security are paramount.

Why You’ll Love Working at Exiger:

• High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
• Discretionary Time Off for all employees, with no maximum limits on time off 
• Industry leading health, vision, and dental benefits
• Competitive compensation package 
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave 
• Flexible, hybrid approach to working from home and in the office where applicable
• Focus on wellness and employee health through stipends and dedicated wellness programming 
• Purposeful career development programs with reimbursement provided for educational certifications
