Senior Data Architect

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Architect to design, develop, and implement secure, scalable, and mission-focused data architectures supporting complex operational environments. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience architecting mission internet systems, developing cloud-based data environments, integrating domestic and foreign social media and mobile application data sources, and implementing secure hybrid- and multi-cloud solutions.

What will you do?

• Data Architecture & Collection: Design and implement data architectures supporting the collection, integration, processing, storage, and exploitation of data from domestic and foreign social media platforms and mobile applications.

• Mission Systems Architecture: Architect, design, and implement mission internet systems and supporting data infrastructure to meet operational requirements.

• Cloud Data Architecture: Design, configure, and manage AWS and/or Microsoft Azure environments supporting mission data requirements, including:

  • Cloud networking and security architecture.

  • Data storage and shared storage solutions.

  • Logging, monitoring, and auditing.

  • Network routing and segmentation.

  • Data backup, recovery, and resiliency.

  • Secure system images and configuration baselines.

• Mobile Data Environments: Design and implement cloud-hosted Android emulation solutions to support mobile application analysis, data collection, and mission requirements.

• Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Architecture: Design and implement secure VPN connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments, as well as cloud-to-cloud connectivity. Develop approved multi-cloud traffic obfuscation and network privacy capabilities.

• Infrastructure Analysis & Fingerprinting: Conduct infrastructure fingerprinting and assessments to identify system signatures, network characteristics, and potential vulnerabilities or exposure points. Document findings and present results to technical review boards.

• Architecture Documentation & Governance: Develop and maintain enterprise and solution architecture documentation, including data flow diagrams, system architecture diagrams, network topology diagrams, technical design documents, and implementation plans for operational use and board approval.

• Technology Assessment & Integration: Evaluate existing and emerging hardware, software, cloud services, and infrastructure technologies to determine suitability for proposed data architecture solutions. Assess security, storage, networking, scalability, and integration requirements.
