Senior Data Engineer (Washington DC-Baltimore Area)

About Revature

Revature builds and deploys technology talent for enterprise and federal clients across the United States. We hire engineers directly, invest in specialized training at our own cost, and place them on client engagements where they do real work from day one.

About the Role :Revature is hiring experienced data engineers to join a large-scale Databricks platform build supporting federal government programs in the Washington, DC area. Our client is one of the world’s largest technology and consulting firms. This is not a bootcamp and it is not unpaid. You join Revature as a full-time W-2 employee with full benefits on day one. We invest in ten weeks of full-time Databricks specialization at our cost, cover your certification exams, and then deploy you to the client engagement.

How the role works

• Weeks 1-10: full-time paid Databricks training, delivered remotely. You are a paid, full-time Revature employee with full benefits throughout. No cost to you and no repayment obligation.
• You earn the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate and Professional certifications during the program. Revature covers the exam costs.
• On completion you deploy on-site with the client in the DC metro area. You remain a full-time Revature employee, working as part of the client team.
• This is a long-term client engagement. Over time there may be an opportunity for the client to hire you directly. That is a possible long-term outcome, not a guaranteed or near-term one.
• Training is expected to begin in late September 2026, with deployment around December 2026.

What we offer

• Competitive pay from day one of training. Compensation is discussed early in the process.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Experience contributing to solution design and architectural decisions
• Experience leading technical implementation activities and/or mentoring engineers
• At least one Associate-level or higher AWS, Azure, or GCP certification
• Able to work on-site in the Washington, DC metro area from the start of the client engagement, approximately December 2026. Candidates relocating to the DC area are welcome to apply.
