Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
5-10+ years managing technical infrastructure or application modernization projects in an Agile/Scrum environment.
Demonstrated ability to understand deeply technical systems and architectures.
Proven track record of converting complex technical requirements into actionable plans and tasks.
Experience working directly with software engineers, platform engineers, and system administrators.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify dependencies, risks, and sequencing challenges.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially for technical audiences.

Kafka: Solid understanding of fundamentals: topics, partitions, producers, consumers, consumer groups, replication, and connectivity/configuration, and monitoring/troubleshooting.
WebSphere Liberty fundamentals, configuration and troubleshooting.
Pega Platform: Experience with Pega Platform implementation, development, upgrades/patching, monitoring and troubleshooting.
MongoDB: Working knowledge for application development, including using MongoDB drivers, writing basic queries and updates, understanding document schemas and indexes at a high level, and troubleshooting application‑level connectivity or performance issues.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
