Who We’re Looking For (Position Overview):
Spry Methods seeks a Systems Engineer to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Office of Contracting & Procurement (OCP) and its enterprise acquisition and financial systems.

This role focuses on enterprise Java middleware and system integration, supporting applications such as PRISM, Oracle-based platforms, and IBM middleware services within USDA’s hybrid infrastructure. The Systems Engineer will provide hands-on support for IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM MQ, and Linux-based platforms, while assisting with modernization and migration efforts.
