To qualify for the role, you must have * Must be able to obtain and maintain a federal secret level security clearance. * Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, computer engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. * 3-6 years of software development experience * Professional software engineering experience in C#/.NET and/or Java, including maintaining, enhancing or modernizing existing applications. * Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases such as Oracle, SQL Server or PostgreSQL. * Demonstrated ability to quickly read, understand and assess unfamiliar or poorly documented codebases. * Solid understanding of web application architecture, APIs, authentication and deployment. * Git-based development and version control. * Clear, structured written documentation skills * Must be comfortable working in-person as needed in the Washington, DC area. Ideally, you'll also have * Expertise in developing written and visual communication products * Excellent written and oral communication skills * Azure Government or AWS GovCloud experience; FedRAMP High environments. * Configuration management with Ansible. * Production Kubernetes experience (AKS, EKS or OpenShift). * Cloud cost management (FinOps) practices. * Certifications such as Microsoft AZ-104 or AZ-305, AWS Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional), Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or HashiCorp Terraform Associate. ## Description * Perform targeted technical validation of automated assessment results for assigned applications: confirm component inventories, technology versions, dependencies, interfaces and data flows, and resolve gaps, ambiguities and false positives. * Read and assess application source code across .NET Framework and .NET (C#), Java (monolithic and early service-based), ColdFusion, JavaScript front ends, stored procedures and batch or scheduled jobs. * Evaluate code quality, maintainability, test coverage, framework and library currency, end-of-support exposure and technical debt using both tooling (for example, SonarQube) and expert review. * Assess database design and usage across Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL, including tightly coupled and shared databases, cross-application data access and replication. * Assess architecture and cloud readiness, including statefulness, configuration management, session handling, authentication patterns and hosting dependencies. * Identify functional overlap and redundant business capabilities across applications to support consolidation analysis. * Score applications against defined rationalization criteria (business value, technical condition, risk and cost) and recommend a disposition (retain, retire, consolidate or modernize) and a modernization pathway (rehost, replatform, refactor, rearchitect, replace or retire). * Develop target-state direction, effort and complexity estimates, dependencies and sequencing constraints that feed the modernization roadmap and wave plan. * Document findings and supporting evidence in a traceable form suitable for client review and acceptance, and contribute to formal deliverables. * Participate in working sessions with application owners, developers and operations staff to confirm findings and close knowledge gaps. * Feed confirmed patterns and corrections back to the AI & Automation team to improve the accuracy of automated analysis. * Own the assessment of a group of applications or a business domain end to end, ensuring consistency, quality and completeness of analysis. * Lead technical interviews and code walkthroughs with application owners and incumbent development and operations teams. * Define target architectures and repeatable modernization patterns for common application archetypes (for example, .NET Framework web applications to containerized .NET, or ColdFusion applications to a modern web stack). * Contribute to effort-estimating models and calibrate them against observed complexity. * Review Staff analyses and coach engineers on assessment techniques and documentation standards.
