Apache Airflow

Hi , This is Amir Ahmad from Mastech Global, we have below position available for Apache Airflow SME for Long Term Contract. Position: Apache Airflow SME Location: REMOTE Type: W2 Contract Only Must-have qualifications • 4+ years hands-on with Apache Airflow in production (not just “used it in a pipeline”) — scheduler, executors, DAG lifecycle, backfills • Strong troubleshooting of Airflow failures: restart loops, scheduler lag, task queue issues, executor problems, dependency conflicts • AWS production experience, specifically ECS on EC2 (containerized Airflow) — sizing, deployment, networking • Security hardening: RBAC, secrets backends, TLS, and reducing Airflow’s provider surface / CVE footprint — this is FedPoint’s core pain, so weight it heavily • Comfortable with CVE triage and vulnerability justification — assessing exploitability, documenting findings for compliance review • Python proficiency (Airflow is Python-native; needed to read/debug DAGs and providers) • Docker/containerization fundamentals • Strong written communication — client-facing support with SLA-bound response/resolution Strongly preferred • Experience supporting federal / government contractor environments; familiarity with FISMA/ NIST 800-53/800-171 concepts (support context, not as a certifier) • Kubernetes (some clients run Airflow there even if FedPoint is ECS) • CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation) • Prior SLA-based support or managed-services experience (vs. pure engineering) — knows what “2-hour response” discipline actually means • Monitoring: CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana Soft requirements that matter for support (not engineering) • Calm under production-incident pressure; good bedside manner with a stressed client • Documentation discipline — runbooks, justification write-ups, ticket hygiene • Able to work a defined coverage window reliably (federal clients notice SLA misses) If you are interested, please share a copy of your resume at Amir.Ahmad@Mastechdigital.com
