Older modernization roadmaps lacked long-term retirement strategies for core mainframes so IRS leadership rolled out a new technical framework stretching through 2029 with heavy emphasis on building a Unified API Layer to unlock legacy data. The IRS plans to wrap up its move toward a single, unified Enterprise Case Management (ECM) system. This platform will consolidate siloed databases and allow employees to support taxpayers from a single interface.

Fiscal Year 2028 Target: This is the projected completion window for updating the critical Individual Master File (IMF). The IMF has processed individual taxpayer data since 1970 using outdated COBOL and Assembly Language Code. The IRS aims to fully convert this core code into modern, developer-friendly Java.

By establishing a solid data structure and robust DevOps pipeline (using tools like SFDX and Git), the subcontractor we are hiring for helps create the stable infrastructure required for the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, the Taxpayer Advocate Service, and the Office of Appeals to safely adopt these modern AI systems.

They will certify you for free including also Agentforce certification. There are other great perks such as optional trips for people interested in cross-project management and discount programs. The company is stable, growing, and has been around for 20 years.
