IT Analyst: Application Developer (ColdFusion) (3 Years)

SDV International is building a small, cross-trained team to support the Federal Aviation Administration’s NISC Enterprise Support Tasking (NEST). The team will operate and maintain the system the FAA uses to manage task orders, funding, and invoices for one of its largest technical support contracts.

• Maintaining and expanding the related tools: the KFDB financial reporting database and the NIAT invoice approval tool.
• Developing a financial dashboard that brings contractor data such as Estimate at Completion, Estimate to Complete, and Earned Value into NIMS.
• Documenting code revisions, testing, upgrades, and deployments.
• Following secure coding practices, remediating findings from code security scans, and supporting PIV-based single sign-on integration.
• Recommending architecture and development tools for the replacement system (NISC V), then leading its design, development, testing, and deployment.
• Reviewing teammates’ code and providing backup support for database work.
