Build. Operate.
Modernize. Integrate.
Datgroup engineers federal data platforms and secure system integrations that turn complex mission data into operational capabilities — from source system to mission application.
A federal technology delivery company
Datgroup LLC is a federal technology consulting and engineering company supporting mission-critical government technology programs. We currently support multiple U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement programs spanning enterprise data engineering, Databricks, systems integration, application development, AWS, and Agile product delivery.
We combine data engineering, software engineering, systems integration, cloud engineering, and technical product leadership — bridging mission requirements with the platforms and applications that serve them. Datgroup can serve as a specialized subcontractor, a technical teaming partner, or a focused data engineering and systems integration specialist.
Full lifecycle, one team
Datgroup works across the complete data and technology delivery lifecycle rather than a single specialized function — from source-system discovery through mission-facing applications.
Enterprise Data Engineering
Ingestion, ETL/ELT, source-to-target mapping, transformation, and Common Data Model design for complex mission datasets.
Databricks & Data Platforms
Hands-on experience across mature enterprise Databricks environments and new, greenfield data-platform implementations.
Systems Integration
Secure integrations between federal systems and agencies, including authentication, network, and cross-agency architecture.
Cloud & Application Engineering
AWS cloud architecture, application development, and dedicated software engineering capacity supporting production releases.
Product & Agile Delivery
Technical product management, requirements engineering, and Agile/SAFe delivery bridging mission teams and engineering.

Operations & Automation Engineer
Datgroup is seeking a mid-level Operations & Automation Engineer to keep a federal enterprise API platform reliable and to make it better over time. This role blends hands-on platform operations with behind-the-scenes Tier 2 support for API consumers and producers: troubleshooting REST API and platform issues, supporting deployments and maintenance, and strengthening the team's infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and containerized deployment capabilities. You'll also spot recurring support and operational problems and turn them into practical fixes, whether that's better documentation, a cleaner process, a script, a lightweight automation, or a platform enhancement.
