- Build and maintain data pipelines to ingest, validate, transform, and load data from Excel, CSV, form submissions, and upstream enterprise systems into the application data layer.
- Write, optimize, and troubleshoot SQL queries and stored logic supporting application functionality, reporting, and data quality checks.
- Develop and support REST API integrations and structured data exchanges (JSON) between the application and other enterprise systems and services.
- Build reporting views, dashboards, and automated document or summary outputs that present request status, service level agreement (SLA) compliance, and enterprise performance metrics to client stakeholders.
- Translate business epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria into working functionality, and participate in backlog refinement, estimation, sprint planning, and daily stand-ups.
- Perform data validation, create and maintain test data, support unit and regression testing, and assist with defect triage and resolution.
- Use Git-based version control and participate in peer code reviews, branching and merge practices, and supported deployment and release activities across development, test, and production environments.
- Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, including data dictionaries, schema and configuration documentation, and runbooks that support onboarding, handoff, and future feature integration.
- Support compliance with federal security, privacy, records management, and Section 508 accessibility requirements in all delivered work.
- Collaborate with business analysts, product owners, testers, and client subject matter experts to clarify requirements and confirm that delivered functionality meets user needs.
- Communicate progress, risks, and blockers proactively to the technical lead and project manager.
- Stay current with relevant development, data engineering, and platform capabilities to ensure delivered solutions remain maintainable and relevant.
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, information systems, software engineering, or similar.
