What do you do when data sources are larger than you’ve ever seen, less structured than you thought possible, and arrive without documentation? We write elegant, transportable code that scales. We leverage clusters, SANs and other high-end hardware configurations, but to maximize the speed and performance of our applications we optimize and fine-tune complex scripts on UNIX and Linux systems. We are often called upon to reformat and separate data for a variety of uses, and expect flexibility and creativity to accommodate evolving requirements. How you can help:

  • Develop custom scripts (Python, Perl, Awk, shell, etc.) to cleanse, transform and normalize *very large*, often unstructured mutliformat data sets.
  • Analyze the data once it is inside a database or custom file solution to perform pattern analysis.
  • Explore new ways to manipulate and parse a variety of formats.
  • Use text parsing languages and transformations, complex data structures and statistical analysis to guide, develop and support follow-on processes.
  • Scale, scale, scale!

Qualifications:

  • Experience with scripting in Linux/Unix environments
  • Demonstrated experience on very large data sets, preferably from many sources
  • Strong preference for current TS/SCI clearance, will consider exceptionally qualified clearable candidates
  • BS in CS preferred

What we offer:

  • We provide compensation and comprehensive benefits that are commensurate with the exceptional quality of candidates sought. (Great insurance, tuition assistance, and a very generously company-funded 401(k) plan. In addition to 10 paid holidays, employees accrue 20 days of Personal Time Off in the first year of employment, and 25 days after that.)
  • The opportunity to help pick out and/or develop the best tools for the job.
  • Uncommon stability and high customer visibility.
  • A rural environment near the city (in the Oxon Hill area)
  • You’ll be surrounded by seriously smart people who are focused on solving the most complex large-scale data engineering problems you will likely encounter.
  • Unless you get bored learning new languages and technologies, you will have plenty to keep you challenged.
