Job description

Responsibilities

Peraton's Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.

Peraton is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website application architecture updates and API integration for a federal data migration program. You will design and implement the integration between the federal consultation platform and the cloud data infrastructure, enabling new species data to flow seamlessly into existing consultation workflows.

Work Location: Remote

Day To Day Roles and Responsibilities

  • Lead application architecture updates to support new species data integration, ensuring all changes comply with platform constraints and IT governance standards
  • Design and implement API integration between the application and the cloud data platform, enabling species data retrieval for consultation workflows
  • Implement new species display functionality within the platform, including habitat designations, listing status, and regulatory requirements
  • Develop programmatic consultation logic alignment updates, implementing joint agency consultation handling logic
  • Support the establishment and maintenance of the demo environment for government demonstrations
  • Support interoperability testing by resolving application-layer defects identified during testing
  • Contribute to the IPaC UI and Logic Update Package, delivering all application-layer integration components including API connections, species display functionality, and joint agency consultation handling logic for government review
  • Support delivery of Updated DKeys and Consultation Package Builder Assets by implementing platform-side integration updates required to support new DKey content and consultation package assembly workflows
  • Execute production cutover application deployment activities per the approved migration playbook
  • Contribute to the Final Operational Playbooks by documenting application maintenance procedures and incident response protocols

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelors degree and 8 years professional experience or a Masters degree and 6 years professional experience or an Associates degree and 10 years professional experience; or a high school diploma/equivalent and 12 years’ professional experience.
  • U.S. Citizenship required; must have the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance
  • Extensive experience with software development with a focus on federal application integration
  • Experience designing and implementing REST API integrations between federal applications and cloud data platforms
  • Proficiency in Java, Python, or equivalent backend development languages
  • Experience with Git or equivalent version control platforms for federal application code management and deployment
  • Experience with federal software development standards and FedRAMP-compliant deployment
  • Familiarity with Section 508/WCAG 2.0 accessibility requirements for federal application development
  • Familiarity with federal IT governance frameworks and platform constraint management

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with the Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) platform or similar federal environmental decision support systems
  • Familiarity with DKey systems or consultation package builder platforms within federal environmental decision support tools
  • Familiarity with Databricks or cloud data lakehouse API integration
