Description

• Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. • The volume and complexity of both physical and virtual border crossings require the application of “big data” solutions to promote efficient trade and travel. • Further, effective “big data” solutions help CBP ensure the movement of people, capital, and products is legal, safe, and secure. • In response to this challenge CBP seeks capable, qualified, and versatile Senior Big Data Leads to facilitate data-driven decision making in response to national security threats. • Senior Cloud Engineer will: 1) support the development of enterprise applications; 2) design and implement micro-services architectures; 3) oversee, work with, and assist other Big Data Engineers; and 3) develop performance dashboards and artifacts to inform resource allocation, justify requirements, and support statutory reporting mandates. • The strongest applicants will have a proven track record of delivering production ready decision support tools and applications employed in the field and by mission-support entities. • Within three to six months of joining the project, the Senior Cloud Engineer will be expected to: Lead and perform development and maintenance of end-user focused, object-oriented, data-driven analytic applications using DevOps and Agile development principles and technologies to support CBP threat analysis and targeting. • Independently identify technical solutions for business problems, directly contribute to conceptual design, and routinely collaborate with Enterprise/Application architects, Database Architects, Data Scientists, and mission stakeholders for building and transitioning on-prem applications to a hybrid cloud environment on Amazon Web Services (AWS). • Develop new code, modify existing application code, conduct unit and system testing, and engage in rigorous documentation of developed and delivered application use cases, data flows, and functional operations. • Demonstrate a strong practical understanding of application-relevant cargo and passenger data and databases used to support analytic application development, functionality and targeting end user (officer) operation. • Actively participate in formal and informal design reviews, solution sessions, and project milestone meetings as well as contribute to project document artifacts for presentation to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Integrate with, and materially contribute to, project portfolio teams as a matrixed resource to provide development and issue resolution expertise in collaboration with data scientists, intelligence analysts, developers, and other participants at the direction of a project manager. • Mentor junior developers and actively contribute to the development of a community of practice focused on enhancing technical skills, sharing best practices, and promoting enhanced mission domain knowledge. • Applicants should note that while some formal training exists to support building knowledge of missions and the implementation of data-driven solutions, much of the knowledge must be gained through on-the-job training and individual initiative. Technical knowledge is insufficient to establish credibility in this operating environment; expertise must be enhanced with rapid acquisition of mission knowledge and demonstrated commitment positive mission outcomes; therefore, we seek self-starters who are capable of independent exploration and knowledge acquisition, willing to develop informal support networks, and with an appreciation for the immense challenge of safeguarding the Nation’s borders.
