Data Engineer

iAdeptive Technologies is looking for a Lead Portal Engineer to own a user-facing portal end-to-end — the front-end architecture, the APIs and services behind it, and the human-centered design process that keeps it usable — on a modern, FedRAMP-authorized platform supporting a federal health agency. You are the technical owner of the portal: you architect it, build it, and ensure the people who use it can actually get their work done.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Data Engineer to join our program team supporting a federal agency client. This role will design, build, and maintain a modern AWS-based data platform using a Medallion lakehouse architecture while embedding data governance, quality, security, metadata, and lineage throughout the data lifecycle.

The ideal candidate is an experienced data pipeline engineer who can deliver reliable data products in a compliance-driven federal environment and support emerging analytics and responsible AI initiatives.

HOW WE WORK

Own the Portal End-to-End — You architect and build both the front end and the API layer, so the seams between design, front end, and services are decisions you made on purpose, not gaps nobody owns.

Engineer Who Drives Design — You lead the HCD process — user research, design direction, the design system — and partner with a supporting designer for execution. You treat usability as an engineering requirement, not a nice-to-have.

Built for Everyone — Accessibility is part of the definition of done. You build to Section 508 and WCAG from the start and treat a portal that excludes users as unfinished.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design, build, and maintain scalable AWS data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes.
• Develop and support Bronze, Silver, and Gold lakehouse data layers.
• Implement data quality, metadata, lineage, and governance controls throughout the data lifecycle.
• Partner with Data Owners and Data Stewards to implement data standards, classifications, a
