Accenture Federal Services is seeking a Data Platform Engineer to join our secure cloud platform team supporting government customers at Hill Air Force Base. This role is execution-focused with strong data platform engineering depth — you will design, build, and operate the streaming and batch data pipelines, lakehouse patterns, and platform services that enable rapid, secure delivery across a complex government program. The ideal candidate brings hands-on GitOps and infrastructure-as-code expertise, is comfortable in classified multi-network environments, and embodies extreme ownership. What Success looks like:

• Data pipelines are reliable, automated, and instrumented with observability and quality gates. - Platform services (Kafka, Airflow, Spark, EMR/Glue/Redshift) are standardized and version-controlled. - Infrastructure is defined as code and operated through GitOps — no snowflake systems. - Security and compliance controls are embedded into pipelines and platform services. - You operate with minimal supervision and proactively close gaps.
