Primary Responsibilities

Provide continuous development and continuous integration to include operational engineering and integration, release management, implementation & migration, and training & knowledge transfer.

Operational Engineering and Integration:

• Document and deliver an approach for automated acceptance testing, including tools and processes
• Document and deliver an approach for automated integration and regression testing, including tools and processes
• Conduct automated testing of all new capabilities utilizing the current Amazon C2S enabled architectures and tools to include Ansible, Cloud Formations, JMETER, etc.
• Develop, document, and conduct operational acceptance testing for all new capabilities. This includes outlining operational acceptance criteria (with Government approval), both technical and non-technical and delivering a report to the Government recommending a path forward.
• Manage and sustain the integration and testing environments on the unclassified and classified infrastructure both on premise and in the cloud to validate all capabilities and technologies prior to being deployed on the production environment.
• Stage new and upgraded services components or services to integration and testing environment.
• Conduct testing for all new and upgraded services components or services to include unit, system, integration, regression and user acceptance testing based on documented requirements and policies.
• Complete all acceptance testing (functional, technical, user, regression, performance, and load)
• Develop any required test scripts associated with the scope of testing procedures
• Perform modifications and adjustments to new and upgraded services components or services as a result of testing and validate results.
• Perform configuration management and change management activities related to integration and testing services.
• Improve and sustain the unclassified and classified test bed, staging, and integration environments. Mature and engineer improvements to the cloud infrastructure and architecture to support continuous development and continuous integration utilizing modern practices and tools.

Release Management:

• Develop and implement release management process and procedures and policies
• Develop quality plans and back-out plans as appropriate for each release
• Conduct site surveys, as necessary, to assess existing Equipment and Software being used to validate release package requirements and dependencies
• Ensure that any new software, equipment, or support services required for the release are procured and available when needed
• Ensure there is segregation of duties between the application developer testers and the release management testers.
• Identify and document all Configurable Items (CIs) that need to be included in the release, as well as, all system inter-dependencies
• Document, review, and approve communications to end-users in anticipation of all new releases
• Notify CESO affected clients of release timing and impact and provide communications to the service desk
• Implement release in compliance with Change Management requirements and adherence to detailed release plans
• Modify configuration database, asset management items, and service catalog (if applicable) to reflect changes to CIs due to the release
• Perform quality control audits and approve Release control results to the Government

Network Engineering:

• Support the order of WAN circuits, equipment and services as defined and required by CESO
• Prepare data network design, engineering, and security plans and schedules to support new and enhanced applications, architectures and standards
• Develop testing and integration procedures, with Government approval, for data network design, engineering and security that meet requirements and adhere to defined policies
• Manage all designated data network devices in accordance with CESO policies (including security oversight and change management policies)

Basic Qualifications
