• Lead technical design reviews, code reviews, dependency decisions, proof-of-concepts, and resolution of complex cross-tier defects or performance issues.
• Elicit, validate, and decompose stakeholder requirements into technical designs, interface contracts, process/data flows, wireframes as applicable, and implementation guidance.
• Ensure business logic is placed in the appropriate layer and prevent unnecessary concentration of logic in the UI or database tier.
• Define integration approaches for authentication, authorization, APIs, legacy-system coexistence, migration, and external interfaces.
• Partner with QA to define testability, automation strategy, quality gates, performance criteria, and defect root-cause practices.
• Partner with DevSecOps/operations stakeholders on build/release patterns, environment configuration, observability, security scanning, and deployment readiness.
• Develop or approve system/data migration plans, modernization sequencing, technical debt remediation, and compatibility strategies.

OUR PROFILE:

We are an IT company with a unique mission—to make people the center of every federal IT solution. Our technologists have always gone the extra mile to help our federal clients succeed. And over the years, we saw a growing disconnect in how federal IT initiatives were built and managed. Time after time, programs failed because the focus was on the tools and products and not the people using them.
