Job Description & How to Apply Below
The Opportunity:
The Department of Veterans Affairs' ( VA ) Master Person Index ( MPI ) is the authoritative enterprise source for the VA's known identities and their traits and attributes, correlating identity data from DoD and third-party Cloud Service Provider s via probabilistic matching through IBM Master Data Management and Info Sphere MDM. MPI is implemented as a combination of COTS products, including Oracle Database, IBM DB2, and Info Sphere MDM, and custom-built sof tware, and currently manages 85M+ unique identities, serving 900M+ tra nsa ctions per month, integrated with 200+ applications.
MPI must meet a 99.99% production-availability target - the program's highest availability bar, shared only with Internal and External SSO.
The Veteran Health Identification Card ( VHIC ) product issues health identification cards used at VA medical facilities to streamline appointment check-in and serves as the system of record for Veteran photographs. VHIC is currently implemented as a custom-developed sof tware solution and must meet a 99.9% production-availability target.
As MPI and VHIC Engineering Lead, you own the technical roadmap and engineering leadership for both the MPI and VHIC engineering teams, including probabilistic-matching tuning and identity reconciliation for MPI, and custom-application delivery for VHIC, coordinating closely with the ICAM Database Administrators who maintain the shared Oracle / DB2 / MDM backend.
Apply today to help us deliver modern identity solutions that protect veterans, their data, and their access to critical VA services.
What You'll Work On:
- Own the technical roadmap and engineering leadership for the MPI Support team, including IBM Info Sphere MDM probabilistic-matching configuration or tuning for identity resolution and retrieval across 85M+ identities.
- Own MPI's 99.99% production-availability target and VHIC's 99.9% production-availability target and lead incident triage or Root Cause Analysis for Tier 3 escalations on both products.
- Lead data-integrity, bulk-validation or cleanup, and identity-reconciliation engineering for MPI and IGA per the program's Data Management requirements, including scripts and automated tooling for routine data validation.
- Own technical delivery of the custom-developed VHIC application, including its role as the system of record for Veteran photographs and its integration with VA medical-facility check-in workflows.
- Coordinate with the ICAM Database Administrators on the shared Oracle Database, IBM DB2, and Info Sphere MDM backend supporting MPI, VHIC, APDS, and Saviynt.
- Serve as escalation point for MPI- related support tickets such as a Veteran's identity attributes in VA MPI are incorrect and need correction and own the identity-data-quality escalation path in coordination with the Identity Data Quality Analysts.
- Mentor and provide technical work leadership to MPI / VHIC engineers and database staff on the MPI Support team.
- Leverage AI intelligently to drive efficiency and quality of output.
- Automate tasks wherever appropriate.
- Develop and consistently use ways of working which allow Agents and automated processes to effectively assist.
You Have:
- 5+ years of experience leading or architecting large-scale 10M+ record master data management or identity-correlation systems, including hands-on a MDM or probabilistic-matching platform such as IBM Info Sphere MDM
- 5+ years of experience with Oracle Database or IBM DB2 administration or architecture in an enterprise production environment, including HA / DR configurations
- Experience leading a technical team delivering and operating a production identity datastore or system of record at scale
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust or Suitability/Fitness determination based on client requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Technology
- Experience with healthcare or Veteran-facing identity data systems such as patient or member identity, health issuance, or photo or document systems of record
- Experience correlating identity data across DoD or other federal or third-party authoritative sources
- Experience with data reconciliation and bulk data-quality remediation at the scale of 50M+ identity records
- Experience using AI agents to build things, not just as chat assistants
Applicants selected will be subject to a government investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements of the U.S. government client .
