Data Engineer (Remote)

Are you ready to jumpstart your career by solving complex challenges that directly impact the lives of our nation’s Veterans? GovCIO is seeking a passionate and driven Data Engineer to join our team in support of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Data Modernization initiative. This is a unique, remote-first opportunity to work at the intersection of public service and cutting-edge technology, where you will help build the secure, scalable, and intuitive data environments that power critical, life-changing analytics. If you are a recent graduate or early-career professional looking to make your mark on a massive scale, this is your chance to turn data into a mission-critical asset.

In this role, you will be much more than just a developer; you will be an architect of user success. You will dive into workspace automation, infrastructure provisioning, and data platform usability, ensuring that VA teams have seamless access to the insights they need to succeed. We pride ourselves on a white-glove customer success approach, meaning you will bridge the gap between complex backend engineering and the actual end-users who rely on your work every day. If you are eager to learn, ready to innovate, and want to build a foundation in modern data architecture while supporting a vital federal mission, we want to hear from you.
