About The Position

Turn statutory Medicare reporting obligations into forms real submitters can complete correctly the first time. This position is contingent upon contract award. About the role The CMS Fee-for-Service Data Collection System (FFSDCS) is the mission system through which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services collects statutorily mandated data from drug manufacturers, clinical laboratories, ground ambulance organizations and hospitals. You will design and build the submission, certification and help-desk-facing interfaces those organizations use. The measure of success here is unusually concrete: every design decision either reduces rejected submissions and help-desk volume during a high-stakes collection window, or it does not. Accessibility is not a checkbox at the end — it is a delivery requirement on every user-facing change. Scale and context Four statutory collections: Average Sales Price, Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, Ground Ambulance, and Off-Campus Hospital Outpatient acquisition data Approximately 17,800 registered reporting users across those collections High Value Asset, FISMA Moderate application in the CMS Cloud (AWS GovCloud) ReactJS front end against Java/Spring Boot microservices, Amazon Aurora, Kubernetes Government Design System and the CMS-licensed KendoUI component library Two-week sprints with production releases multiple times per month Location and schedule Hybrid role.
