This role focuses on stabilizing, maintaining, and improving Pega implementations while collaborating with cross-functional teams working in .NET, SQL Server, and AWS environments.
The NRCS Pega environment includes applications where business logic is partially externalized into .NET services and SQL Server stored procedures.

- Senior-Level: Minimum 7 years of IT experience, including 5+ years of advanced Pega architecture and development experience.
- Hands-on experience with Pega Platform, including case management, workflows, UI configuration, data pages, decision rules, SLA configurations, and class structure design across Work, Data, and Integration layers.
- Experience with Pega integrations (REST, SOAP, RDBMS connectors) and working familiarity with SQL Server and .NET-based systems to support cross-platform integrations, refactoring, and collaboration with development teams.
- Experience deploying Pega applications in AWS or hybrid cloud environments, with an understanding of CI/CD pipeline concepts and integration with tools such as AWS CodeBuild, CodePipeline, and Jenkins.
- Pega CSA or CSSA certification, with demonstrated knowledge of NRCS financial systems, including workflows, data flows, integrations, and dependencies across FPAC, USDA enterprise systems, and external partners.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Pega Constellation UI architecture and component-based design.
- Familiarity with Pega guardrail compliance and application quality scoring.
- AWS Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate certification.
- Experience working within large-scale O&M contracts with active cloud migration.
- SAFe, Scrum, or equivalent Agile certification.
- Familiarity with Section 508 accessibility requirements as applied to Pega UI components.
- Experience with Pega Application Management Services (AMS), including incident management and root cause analysis.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, configure, and maintain Pega case management workflows, UI components, and business process automation in alignment with Pega guardrails and best practices.
- Perform corrective, adaptive, preventive, and perfective maintenance on Pega applications, including defect triage, root cause analysis, regression testing, and resolution within SLA timelines.
- Refactor and optimize Pega implementations to improve separation of concerns, including reducing reliance on externalized business logic in .NET services and SQL stored procedures.
- Develop and maintain reusable components at the Framework and Organization levels to improve consistency, scalability, and reduce maintenance overhead.
- Monitor and optimize application performance using Pega diagnostic tools (e.g., PAL, PLA, Tracer, SMA).
- Participate in modernization efforts, including application assessments for refactoring, re-platforming, or retirement, and contribute to architectural planning and technical debt analysis.
- Support migration of Pega applications from on-premises environments to AWS, including deployment, configuration, and issue resolution in coordination with platform teams.
- Identify, document, and support integration points and dependencies between Pega applications and enterprise/shared services to enable decoupling and modernization
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (.NET, database, platform, and release management) to resolve system issues and support CI/CD pipelines with automated quality and security gates.
- Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), stakeholder validation, and knowledge transfer activities, including development of runbooks, playbooks, and technical documentation.
- Ensure compliance with FPAC security standards, Section 508 accessibility requirements, and audit readiness, including timely remediation of vulnerabilities within established SLAs.
