The posting

SteerBridge is a modern technology company delivering innovative, mission-focused solutions to the U.S. Government and private sector. Leveraging deep expertise in federal acquisition, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, we deliver agile, commercial-grade capabilities that accelerate operational effectiveness and drive measurable mission success.

At the core of SteerBridge is our people—especially the veterans whose leadership, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to excellence elevate every project we support. We don’t simply hire exceptional talent; we cultivate it, creating meaningful career pathways for veterans, military spouses, and professionals who share our passion for advancing technology and strengthening the missions we serve.

Position Overview

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the target-state architecture for claims, clinical, and healthcare data, including conceptual, logical, and physical models, integration patterns, and cloud data platforms.
  • Independently prioritize and maintain the technical product backlog; define epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and delivery priorities in partnership with mission stakeholders.
  • Own product decisions and sprint delivery outcomes for data engineering Scrum teams; guide sprint planning, refinement, reviews, and continuous improvement in coordination with team facilitators.
  • Provide experienced leadership and mentorship to MDC Scrum teams, establishing mature Agile delivery practices, improving backlog refinement, sprint planning, execution discipline, and delivery predictability. Coach engineers, junior architects, and Scrum team members in technical delivery, product ownership practices, and architecture standards.
  • Design scalable batch and real-time ETL/ELT pipelines, schema evolution, data quality controls, lineage, observability, and governance.
  • Direct cloud platform architecture and technology decisions across AWS, Azure, or GCP and enterprise warehouse/lake technologies.
  • Apply appropriate access controls, sensitive-data safeguards, and federal and healthcare data handling requirements.
  • Enable analytics and AI/ML use cases through reliable, governed, reusable data infrastructure.
  • Lead architecture reviews, resolve cross-system tradeoffs, and communicate roadmaps, risks, priorities, and technical decisions to executive and government stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance (an active Secret or Top Secret clearance also satisfies this requirement).
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
  • At least six years of professional data architecture experience and at least two years of demonstrated, hands-on technical Product Owner experience, including independent responsibility for backlog prioritization, product decisions, and Scrum delivery. These experiences may be concurrent, provided both capabilities are clearly demonstrated.
  • Demonstrated enterprise-scale data architecture ownership in a cloud environment, including data modeling, platform design, and data integration.
  • Actual experience independently prioritizing a technical product backlog, making backlog decisions, and guiding sprint execution for an engineering or data team; a formal Product Owner job title is not required.
  • Demonstrated experience improving Agile/Scrum team maturity through hands-on product ownership, coaching, mentorship, and implementation of effective backlog management, sprint planning, and delivery practices.
  • Proficiency with SQL and Python, and practical experience with relevant data engineering tools and workflows (such as Pandas, PySpark, and Git).
  • Experience with enterprise data warehouses or lakes such as Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, or Snowflake, or comparable platforms.
  • Ability to brief senior executives and government stakeholders, explain architectural tradeoffs, and mentor technical teams.
  • Ability to work in a hybrid arrangement based in Vienna, VA, with an expected on-site presence of at least three days per week, subject to supervisor direction.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with federal claims, healthcare, clinical, or other regulated and sensitive data environments, including HIPAA and federal data requirements.
  • Experience establishing enterprise data modeling standards, master data management, metadata catalogs, lineage, and data governance.
  • Familiarity with dimensional modeling, Data Vault, OLTP/OLAP architecture, and hybrid or multi-cloud design.
  • Experience supporting AI/ML-ready data platforms, analytics, feature pipelines, and data science teams.
  • Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, DevOps, and cost/performance governance for cloud data platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
