  • Develop new applications within cloud environments and support the migration and modernization of legacy applications to the cloud.
  • Provide database architecture and design capabilities to support application development and system performance.
  • Develop unit and functional test plans to validate software functionality and reliability.
  • Provide operations and maintenance (O&M) support for operational software systems.
  • Modify existing software to correct errors, accommodate new hardware, improve performance, and address evolving requirements.
  • Analyze user needs and software requirements to determine the feasibility of proposed designs within established time and cost constraints.
  • Consult with customers regarding software system design, development, and maintenance.
  • Coordinate software installation activities and monitor system and equipment functionality to ensure specifications are met.

  • Develop and direct software testing, validation procedures, programming activities, and technical documentation.
  • Collaborate with systems analysts, engineers, programmers, and other technical personnel to identify project limitations, system capabilities, performance requirements, and interface specifications.
  • Troubleshoot software defects, implement corrective changes, and retest applications to verify expected results.
  • Conduct trial runs of programs and software applications to validate functionality, data accuracy, and execution instructions.
  • Develop and maintain documentation covering program development, modifications, and subsequent revisions, including clear and understandable code comments.
  • Write, update, and maintain software programs and packages that support operational functions such as inventory tracking, data storage and retrieval, and equipment control.
  • Consult with management, engineering, and technical personnel to clarify program objectives, identify issues, and recommend improvements.
  • Perform or direct the revision, repair, and expansion of existing applications to improve operational efficiency and accommodate new requirements.
  • Write, analyze, review, and revise programs using workflow charts, diagrams, and established programming principles.
  • Develop user instructions and technical manuals to support software operation and maintenance.
  • Prepare detailed workflow charts and diagrams describing system inputs, outputs, and operational logic, and translate those designs into executable code.
