Senior Data Governance Engineer (Collibra)

We are seeking a Senior Data Governance Engineer with deep, hands-on experience implementing enterprise data governance solutions using Collibra in highly regulated environments.

This is a technical, implementation-focused role, ideal for someone who has owned governance tooling, metadata, and lineage frameworks rather than operating solely at a policy or advisory level.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Data Governance

• Configure and manage data catalogs, metadata models, lineage, stewardship workflows, and governance assets
• Establish data standards, ownership models, and governance processes in partnership with business and technical teams

• Build and maintain enterprise metadata and classification models
• Manage business glossaries, data dictionaries, and stewardship workflows
• Support master data consistency and governance across multiple platforms and systems

Data Architecture & Integration

• Support governed data architectures across modern data platforms (cloud and on-prem)
• Enable secure data sharing and access policies aligned with federal compliance standards
• Partner with engineering teams to integrate governed data sources and pipelines

Platform Enablement & Adoption

• Provide technical guidance on Collibra integrations with platforms such as AWS, Snowflake, and Databricks
• Enable and support self-service data discovery for business users
• Act as a technical advisor to data stewards, architects, and analytics teams

Automation & Advanced Capabilities

• Implement automated metadata ingestion and lineage capture
• Leverage AI/ML-enabled features within governance platforms to improve data quality and observability
• Continuously optimize governance workflows and processes

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (U.S.-accredited)
• 10+ years of experience in enterprise data management or data governance
• Proven, hands-on experience implementing and configuring Collibra
• Strong background in metadata management, data lineage, and master data governance
• Solid understanding of data architecture, data modeling, and integration patterns
• Experience working in federal or highly regulated environments
• Familiarity with data privacy and compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, federal data regulations)
• U.S. Citizen with an active DHS clearance

Why Consider This Opportunity

• Work on mission-critical federal data programs
• Own and influence enterprise-scale data governance implementations
• Collaborate with senior technical and business stakeholders
• Engage with modern cloud and data technologies
• Long-term program stability within the federal space
