• Support ongoing travel data parsing and processing activities for Sponsor partners and recommend system upgrades, integrations, or enhancements to improve scalability and operational efficiency.
• Perform Tier 3 troubleshooting and issue resolution by analyzing logs, alerts, and operational data, replicating system issues in development/test environments, and coordinating fixes with vendors and external partners.
• Support modernization and transition efforts for travel applications, including development of deployment, migration, and data validation plans.
• Coordinate technical meetings, project schedules, and integration activities with Sponsor divisions and mission partners.
• Develop technical approaches, validate system designs, conduct feasibility studies, and prepare technical briefings and status updates for leadership.
• Support Assessment & Authorization (A&A) activities and contribute to continuous process improvement and lessons learned initiatives.
