AttainX is seeking a Pega Developer to support Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and authorized Development, Modernization, and Enhancement (DM&E) activities for Pega-based applications within the USDA IT ecosystem. This role focuses on stabilizing, maintaining, and improving Pega implementations while collaborating with cross-functional teams working in .NET, SQL Server, and AWS environments.

The USDA Pega environment includes applications where business logic is partially externalized into .NET services and SQL Server stored procedures. A key aspect of this role is refactoring these implementations toward Pega best practices while supporting the broader team’s modernization and cloud migration objectives.

Essential Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.
Senior-Level: Minimum 8 years of IT experience, including 5+ years of advanced Pega architecture and development experience.
Hands-on experience with Pega Platform case management, workflows, UI configuration, data pages, decision rules, and SLA configurations.
Experience with Pega class structure design across Work, Data, and Integration layers.
Experience with Pega integration services (REST, SOAP, RDBMS connectors).
Working familiarity with SQL Server environments, including the ability to read and understand stored procedures and cross-database queries in order to support refactoring efforts.
Working familiarity with .NET-based systems sufficient to understand integration points and collaborate with .NET developers on shared services.
Experience deploying Pega applications in AWS-hosted or hybrid cloud environments.
Understanding of CI/CD pipeline concepts and willingness to integrate Pega deployments into FPAC-approved pipelines (AWS CodeBuild, CodePipeline, Jenkins).
Pega Certified System Architect (CSA) or Certified Senior System Architect (CSSA).
US Citizen or Permanent Resident with the ability to obtain USDA Public Trust Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience supporting USDA, FPAC, NRCS, or other federal civilian agencies.
Experience with Pega Constellation UI architecture and component-based design.
Familiarity with Pega guardrail compliance and application quality scoring.
AWS Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate certification.
Experience working within large-scale O&M contracts with active cloud migration.
SAFe, Scrum, or equivalent Agile certification.
Familiarity with Section 508 accessibility requirements as applied to Pega UI components.
Experience with Pega Application Management Services (AMS), including incident management and root cause analysis.

Core Responsibilities:

Pega Application Development & Maintenance:

Design, configure, and maintain Pega case management workflows, UI components, and business process automation in alignment with Pega guardrails and best practices.
Perform corrective, adaptive, preventive, and perfective maintenance on Pega-based applications per PWS-defined maintenance categories and SLAs.
Triage and resolve production defects in Pega applications, including root cause analysis, regression testing, and documentation in Government-approved tracking systems (Jira).
Refactor existing Pega implementations where business logic has been externalized into .NET services or embedded in SQL stored procedures, working toward clean separation of concerns within the Pega platform.
Develop and maintain reusable components at Framework and Organization levels to reduce duplication and maintenance cost.
Optimize application performance using Pega diagnostic tools (PAL, PLA, Tracer, SMA).

Modernization Support:

Participate in modernization assessments to evaluate Pega applications for refactoring, re-platforming, replacement, or retirement.
Provide subject matter input on Pega application complexity, technical debt, and dependencies to support the Enterprise Lead Architect’s modernization roadmap and scoring model.
Support incremental migration of Pega applications from on-premises (DISC) to AWS-hosted environments, colla
