  • Lead the SSRS-to-Power BI migration using existing Power BI Service licenses, deployed Report Server, gateway, and designated workspace. 
  • Lead WebForms-to-ASP.NET Core modernization within the VAEC framework. 
  • Design and maintain complex relational SQL Server databases; create and modify database objects using advanced T-SQL. 
  • Maintain data dictionaries, metadata documentation, and report-to-data-source traceability. 
  • Ensure secure coding practices and support ATO vulnerability remediation, including legacy code, third-party and open-source component findings, and configuration findings. 
  • Provide technical direction, architectural guidance, and code review to junior developers. 
  • Ensure all products meet Section 508, ADA, and WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA compliance requirements. 
  • Maintain ATO artifacts, including SSP updates, control narratives, POA&M tracking, and scan evidence. 
  • Participate in recurring technical working sessions and ad-hoc meetings with OAA leadership and VA stakeholders. 
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. No equivalencies or substitutions for the degree requirement will be accepted. 
  • Eight (8) or more years of experience in software development. 
  • Significant experience with Azure Cloud Solution, with a focus on Databricks and Synapse, API Management, Azure Functions, Azure App Services, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Monitor. 
  • Demonstrated hands-on expertise with ASP.NET Core, C#, T-SQL, Power BI, and Kendo UI. 
  • Proven experience leading software development projects and providing technical oversight (required).
