About The Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Integration Engineer to join our team in the greater DMV area, supporting the Army National Guard. This role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining system integrations and machine-to-machine interfaces to enable automated data exchanges and interoperability across ARNG enterprise applications. The position requires analyzing interface requirements, producing technical specifications, data mappings, and interface control documents (ICDs) aligned with Agile/DevSecOps and PDLC/SDLC processes. Responsibilities include developing, testing, and deploying integration solutions (APIs, ETL/ELT, message queues, web services), monitoring interface health, and coordinating with various stakeholders to validate data flows and security controls. The role also involves implementing changes under configuration management, conducting impact assessments and integration testing, maintaining documentation, and mentoring engineering teams on integration best practices.
