Collaborate with the Architect to translate high-level designs into detailed engineering tasks, technical artifacts, and system interfaces. Support the Technical Lead by providing technical input during Program Increment (PI) planning, backlog refinement, work estimation, and risk identification. Develop new PEP/PIP patterns, including enforcement endpoints, policy decision integrations, and attribute retrieval mechanisms. Enhance EMS and RPMS services by implementing automation for resource/role lifecycle management, attribute orchestration, and policy ingestion workflows. Coordinate with DevOps engineers on CI/CD, containerization, infrastructure automation, and deployment to Kubernetes or the government's currently installed application platform. Troubleshoot complex identity, authentication, authorization, and policy-related issues across legacy and modernized components. Produce engineering documentation, including design specifications, data flow diagrams, configuration standards, and interface definitions. Ensure modernization activities reduce operational overhead and improve system reliability, maintainability, and observability. Participate in integration testing, operational readiness testing, and deployment validation across multiple environments and security domains. Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices in secure coding, microservices development, and ICAM integration.
