Infrastructure Analytics Data Engineer

An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role

Hey!

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

What We Look For

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together
• Know and live our core values every single day

About this Role

You'll join a team responsible for delivering mission-critical infrastructure cognizance. Your work will focus on aggregating data sources to create a clear picture of what infrastructure was requested, what infrastructure was deployed, and proactively alerting on any discrepancies. The team's application is used by subject matter experts to investigate, create, and iterate on best practices and deployment rules, and you'll help detect and surface cases where requested or provisioned infrastructure breaks those best practices and rules.

Given the visibility and impact of this work, you'll interact with many stakeholders across the organization and iterate as frequently as possible. As a Software Engineer III, you will drive end-to-end feature delivery from concept to production, transforming complex data into actionable insights and leveraging AI to accelerate analysis and solution design.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications (frontend and backend)
• Develop ETL workflows to reconcile requested vs. realized infrastructure
• Apply AI tools and techniques to accelerate analysis and prototype new solutions quickly
• Ensure scalable and reliable data ingestion and processing
• Collaborate with full-stack engineers on integration and visualization of results

Requirements

• 12+ years of relevant experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, or 16+ years of relevant experience without a degree
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Demonstrated use of AI/ML tools to accelerate data analysis and engineering solution development
• Experience with Kafka and streaming analytics
• Working knowledge of relational databases

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience with production CNO capabilities and operations
• Experience analyzing cyber security data sets such as network traffic and OS events
• Understanding of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
• Familiarity with ClickHouse
• Proficiency with Git and GitLab
• Working knowledge of Atlassian tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Exposure to adjacent domains such as dataflow, data science, or mission analytics

• We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem — we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
