• Design and oversee the integration of multi-source intelligence data, mapping complex data structures (APIs, SQL, JSON) to power intuitive front-end MAVEN visualizations and modernize existing CIP/COP systems.
• Strategically integrate data from analytics platforms, sensor feeds, and existing machine learning outputs into intuitive operational workflows to enhance real-time mission decision-making and situational awareness.
• Proactively develop, curate, and champion new use cases for the MAVEN Smart System (MSS), anticipating the future visual and data needs of DISA operations before they become critical requirements.
Portal Management & Technical Integration:
• Provide senior technical leadership within an agile development team, actively participating in technical interchange meetings, architectural reviews, and sprint planning.
• Drive continuous service improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to streamline knowledge management, configuration management, and enterprise portal operations.
• Architect integration strategies to ensure MAVEN-derived insights are seamlessly incorporated into broader enterprise collaboration portals and existing team tools (e.g., SharePoint, ServiceNow, Jira). Required Skills
• Extensive hands-on experience architecting and building interactive dashboards, operational views, and geospatial analytics using GUI-based data platforms (e.g., Palantir MAVEN/Foundry, Kibana, Splunk, or Tableau).
• Expertise in mapping complex data structures (SQL, XML, JSON) and leveraging existing APIs (REST/SOAP) to construct and configure the data objects that power intuitive front-end visualizations.
• High proficiency in building cohesive, user-facing applications and operational views that support real-time decision-making, combined with the technical agility to rapidly master new plug-and-play builder environments like MAVEN. Basic Qualifications
