• Build and consume REST APIs and integrations with WISE/CAPS on Appian, SharePoint, Kafka, Login.gov, and DOL SSO, following provided API specifications and data contracts.

• Write secure code that guards against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities; remediate findings from static code analysis, container scans, STIGs, and SRRs.
• Use DOL-provided secure AI coding tools (Microsoft Copilot) to generate a contract-mandated share of code (up to 50%), and review all generated code against DOL quality-check procedures.
• Commit all code and deployment scripts to the DOL OCIO GitLab repository; promote through development, staging, and production via the DevSecOps pipeline.
• Perform unit testing against acceptance criteria and participate in each sprint's code review.
• Produce technical documentation and support manuals, and support data migration and decommissioning of replaced .NET applications.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Experience developing in Drupal (8/9/10+), including custom modules and Webform.
• Experience with relational databases and SQL (IBM DB2 and/or MySQL).
• Experience building and integrating RESTful APIs.
• Working knowledge of secure coding (OWASP Top 10) and Section 508 / WCAG accessible development.
