Data Engineer

Role: Data Engineer - Databricks

Location: Washington, DC Metro Area

Duration: Long-Term (W2)

USC (Does not require Sponsorship)

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 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
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
