Responsibilities

We are seeking an Identity System Integration Engineer to deliver outstanding Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) policy, implementation, and operational services.

The Federal Government's smart cards are the output of a dozen or more systems, some on-prem and some cloud-based, working in conjunction at very high levels of security. In a real sense, HSPD-12 credentials are the first line of cyber defense within the Federal Government.

HSPD-12 credentialing involves more than servers. For this effort, there are nearly 1,000 Workstations that leverage a mixture of thin and thick clients, some manned and some kiosk-based, connected over varying levels of bandwidth. Credential issuance systems are complex and will test every bit of your IT systems background. On any given day, you are equally likely to be looking at an IIS server as an SQL query to client workstation configurations with an on-prem hardware device to integrating API to client applications.
