CIA Data Architects serve as the lead technical resource for strategic oversight and planning of database structural design and development. Candidates provide technical, strategic guidance to senior level database administrators and application developers in the creation and implementation of new databases, as well as the maintenance of major existing databases supporting evolving applications. Additionally, candidates provide strategic guidance to data stewards on the development and implementation of data models to support organizational business processes.
Duties include leading and consulting to all levels of the organization on the design, development and implementation of logical database structures and classification schema; and developing policies and procedures to build, maintain and leverage the data model. Data Architects also provide technical, strategic guidance on the development of metadata tags, Document Type Definitions (DTD), and schemas using appropriate technologies for representation such as HTML and XML. Additionally, candidates ensure that metadata and data standards and definitions support both local business processes and system implementations thereof, and corporate requirements for sharing data.
Minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree in computer science, management information systems or an equivalent technical degree program with specific, relevant work experience; completion of an advanced degree for Expert Officers at the higher end of this profession. Candidates must also possess ten years of progressively responsible experience in the oversight and strategic planning of database structural design and development. It is expected that Expert Officers at the higher end of this profession will have more extensive experience in database structural design and/or IT architecture disciplines. A GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale is also required.
All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.
To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.
