Data Engineer

Barbaricum is seeking a highly technical Data Engineer to drive the massive data discovery and classification effort for the Zero Trust initiative at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Before data can be protected, it must be found and understood. You will be responsible for illuminating “dark data” across the Command’s complex information environment, ranging from hyperscale cloud data lakes on NIPR to legacy file shares and isolated storage arrays on the SIPR and Top-Secret networks. As a Data Engineer, you will architect and manage the deployment of advanced discovery platforms, specifically BigID and NetApp BlueXP. You will configure these tools to crawl petabytes of structured (SQL/Oracle), semi-structured (logs/NoSQL), and unstructured (SharePoint/File Shares) data. Your primary mission is to build the “Global Data Inventory”—a dynamic, real-time map of where sensitive CUI and classified intelligence resides—enabling the security teams to apply precision protection. You will use your knowledge of data pipelines and storage infrastructure to ensure that scanning operations provide 100% visibility without degrading network performance.
