This role requires knowledge and understanding of client IT processes and technology stack (DevSecOps CI/CD, Cloud One, Oracle, Java). Client systems are deployed in classified and unclassified environments in DISA and Cloud. The Technical Lead provides thought leadership in modernizing and enhancing client systems and serves as a primary interface with the customer.

• Optimizing DevSecOps practices and tools to automate the CI/CD pipeline including code repositories, automated regression testing and code verification, configuration management, and code migration across multiple environments to reduce inefficient and error-prone manual processes and increasing software delivery velocity and quality without increasing cost.
• Managing resources and priorities between operating production on-premises, refactoring the baseline for environments operating on the Cloud platform, and supporting Cloud Migration activities and transforming to a “Cloud native” capability.
• Managing and reducing technical debt while delivering new capabilities that interoperate with the baseline and do not introduce security or audit risk.
• Providing tools and environments that are secure, scalable and maintainable.
• Improving data quality, integrity, and security when exchanging data with trading partners and migrating data from legacy systems to minimize operational impacts due to data availability delays and system errors associated with data conflicts.
• Addressing cross-team dependencies in a multi-vendor environment without a negative impact to planned objectives and priorities (i.e. decrease dependencies without a negative impact to performance, quality, reliability, and sustainability).
• Leading technical architectural design reviews and ensuring solution integrity.
