R3 Government Solutions (R3) provides human resources operations services, human capital strategy, and custom training to federal clients. This position is part of an R3 team that supports the Department of Homeland Security - U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Job Overview
We are looking for a Senior Systems Analyst with strong experience working with Databricks and Collibra in an enterprise data environment. Experience with AWS S3 and cloud-based data architectures is also highly desirable.
Work Location:
Remote now - Must be within the Washington DC Metro area (for any as-needed client/team meetings)
500 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20536
This individual will support a small HR team as our client transitions enterprise data into a modern lakehouse environment. A separate enterprise team and implementation vendor are responsible for building and managing the overall data platform; this role will serve as our team's technical point of contact and subject-matter resource, helping us understand, navigate, and effectively use that environment.
The ideal candidate does not necessarily need to be a hands-on data engineer, but should be technically proficient enough to understand how data moves through a modern lakehouse environment, work effectively with data engineers and platform teams, troubleshoot issues, and translate between business requirements and technical implementation.
Experience working with HR operations, HR data, HR information systems (HRIS), or workforce analytics is a significant differentiator. Our team primarily supports HR-related systems, data, reporting, and business processes, and the client is expected to transition to Oracle HCM in the future.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Serve as our team's subject-matter resource for Databricks, Collibra, AWS S3, and the client's enterprise lakehouse environment.
- Work with enterprise data teams, platform administrators, developers, and implementation vendors to understand data architecture, data flows, platform capabilities, governance requirements, and technical dependencies.
- Use Databricks to access, analyze, validate, and troubleshoot enterprise data and support HR reporting and analytics.
- Work within Collibra to support data governance activities.
- Serve as a liaison between business/functional stakeholders and technical data teams, translating technical concepts into clear business impacts and business requirements into actionable technical needs.
- Understand how data is stored, organized, accessed, and governed within AWS S3 and a cloud-based lakehouse architecture.
- Analyze business and system requirements and translate them into data requirements, mappings, business rules, validation criteria, and technical requirements.
- Support the analysis and resolution of data quality, integration, access, lineage, and reporting issues.
- Review data structures, schemas, tables, and data products to determine whether available enterprise data meets functional and reporting requirements.
- Support data validation, testing, system/integration testing, and UAT when new data sources, integrations, or capabilities are introduced.
- Document data flows, requirements, business rules, system dependencies, processes, and technical decisions.
- Proactively identify data gaps, dependencies, integration risks, and potential impacts to downstream systems and reporting.
- Over time, support the client's transition to Oracle HCM, including the integration and use of HR data within the broader enterprise data environment.

· Strong systems analysis, business analysis, and problem-solving capabilities

Desired:
