Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Data Platform Engineer role at Gravity

About Gravity

Gravity is the platform public agencies use to manage budgeting, automate financial reporting, and meet compliance with confidence. From Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) to Budget Books to GASB disclosures, we give teams the tools to move faster, work smarter, and build public trust.

About The Role

We are seeking a Senior Data Platform Engineer to design, build, and scale secure, resilient data platforms that power mission‑critical government technology solutions. This role blends hands‑on engineering with architectural leadership across cloud data platforms, enabling analytics, AI / ML, and product insights that improve public‑sector outcomes.

You will partner with engineering, product, security, and analytics stakeholders to deliver a modern, compliant, and highly reliable data platform.

What You’ll Do

Design & Architecture

Lead platform and architecture decisions across cloud data technologies (e.g., BigQuery, Databricks, lakehouse / warehouse patterns)
Define ingestion strategies (batch, streaming, CDC) and layered data modeling approaches
Design secure, compliant architectures addressing PII, HIPAA, SOC 2, and government standards
Produce high‑level technical designs, platform recommendations, and cost estimates

Platform Foundation & Enablement

Build and deploy core data platform infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

Establish Dev / Test / Prod environments, CI / CD pipelines, and operational guardrails

Implement networking, IAM, secrets management, and identity integrations

Configure governance, cataloging, lineage, observability, and data quality tooling

Enable analytics and AI / ML foundations (feature stores, model tracking, ML workspaces)

Data Onboarding & Activation

Implement scalable ingestion pipelines for application databases, SaaS systems, product events, and operational data

Build curated data models (raw / bronze >

silver >

gold) and semantic layers for BI and analytics

Support product analytics, reporting, and ML use cases through reliable data contracts

Partner with stakeholders to deliver dashboards, metrics, and operational insights

What You’ll Bring

6+ years of experience in data engineering or data platform roles

Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

Proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language (Python, Java, or Scala)

Hands‑on experience with modern data stacks (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, Spark, Kafka)

Experience with data governance, security, and compliance in regulated environments

Ability to lead architecture discussions and deliver pragmatic, scalable solutions

About You

You are a senior‑level data platform engineer who enjoys owning problems from architecture through production

You think in platforms and systems, not just individual pipelines or tools

You are comfortable working in regulated, mission‑driven environments and understand security and compliance constraints

You balance technical rigor with pragmatism and know how to make sound trade‑offs

You can move easily between high‑level design discussions and hands‑on implementation

You communicate clearly with engineers, product partners, and non‑technical stakeholders

You value clean architecture, documentation, and long‑term maintainability

You are motivated by impact and take pride in building reliable platforms that improve public services
