  • Participate in governance reviews and technology insertion evaluations with a focus on interface standards and interoperability.
  • Address optional or emerging interface requirements via contract modifications, negotiating costs as needed.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in interface development, API integration, and data exchange in enterprise or federal IT environments.
  • Strong hands-on expertise with API development (RESTful, SOAP, XML), ETL processes, and integration platforms.
