Support requirements workshops, backlog refinement, prioritization, traceability, and preparation of software requirements documentation. Software and Solution Design: Develop and maintain technical designs covering application architecture, user interfaces, workflows, system interfaces, data models, and data flows. Produce architecture diagrams, interface documentation, design packages, and configuration-controlled technical artifacts. Data Integration and Engineering: Design, build, and maintain APIs, connectors, Extract, Transform, and Load processes, data pipelines, data structures, and integration services that collect, tag, process, and make mission data available within the enterprise ecosystem. Envision and Palantir Foundry Support: Configure and develop data pipelines, ontologies, dashboards, applications, code repositories, and data integrations within Envision or Palantir Foundry. Apply platform development practices and support required environment configuration. Data Management: Develop and maintain data dictionaries, metadata repositories, data definitions, domain values, integrity rules, and associated technical documentation for learning-services databases and data-warehouse environments. Data Quality: Profile and audit data for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and integrity. Develop validation rules, quality monitoring, exception reporting, and corrective-action products in accordance with government direction. Software Testing: Develop test strategies, test plans, automated test suites, regression tests, and test reports. Support user acceptance testing, deployment validation, defect resolution, and maintenance of test evidence. Deployment and Release Support: Prepare deployment plans, release schedules, implementation procedures, rollback processes, deployment checklists, and configuration-management documentation. Coordinate production implementation activities
