This hands-on role will develop, maintain, and improve ATIS data products and integrations, with a primary focus on capabilities delivered through Army Vantage and Palantir Foundry.

The Data Engineer will transform authoritative ATIS data into reliable, reusable enterprise data products and ensure Vantage/Foundry capabilities integrate effectively with the broader ATIS data ecosystem. The ideal candidate has hands-on Foundry experience, strong data-engineering skills, and the ability to independently identify and resolve end-to-end data quality and integration issues across ATIS and Vantage/Foundry.

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors—helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

Responsibilities

Develop, maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance ATIS data products, datasets, pipelines, applications, dashboards, and related capabilities within Army Vantage/Palantir Foundry.
Design, build, and sustain production-quality data pipelines and transformations using Python, SQL, PySpark, and native Foundry capabilities.
Develop and maintain Foundry ontology objects, relationships, and data models that make authoritative ATIS data understandable, reusable, and accessible to approved users.
Integrate authoritative ATIS data with Vantage/Foundry and other Army enterprise data sources while maintaining data quality, lineage, and appropriate access controls.
Trace, diagnose, and drive resolution of end-to-end data quality and integration issues across ATIS source data, interfaces, transformations, pipelines, and Vantage/Foundry products.
Develop Foundry-native dashboards, applications, reports, and other data products to support Army analytics, visualization, reporting, and mission needs.
Implement data-quality validation, monitoring, scheduling, error handling, and other practices necessary to operate reliable production data products.
Apply sound software and data-engineering practices, including version control, peer review, testing, documentation, and CI/CD where supported.
Work directly with product owners, engineers, architects, analysts, and users to translate mission needs into practical technical solutions and support appropriate use of authoritative ATIS data.
Document solutions, share knowledge, and build team capability so ATIS can sustain and extend its data and Foundry capabilities without creating single-person dependencies.
Operate as a self-directed member of the Agile team, taking ownership of technical outcomes and independently driving problems toward resolution.
