RIVA Solutions supports the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in administering major broadband grant programs and operating the Salesforce-based NTIA Grants Portal (NGP). NGP is a mission-critical CRM and grants management platform supporting application intake, federal review workflows, post-award monitoring, reporting, and stakeholder engagement across programs such as BEAD, Digital Equity, Middle Mile, and Tribal Broadband.

• Maintain strong version control discipline, branching strategies, and deployment management using Dev Ops tools and CI/CD pipelines
• Conduct unit testing, support integration testing, and collaborate with QA and product owners to validate acceptance criteria within Agile sprints
• Troubleshoot defects, resolve technical issues, and support post-deployment hypercare and O&M needs
• Provide technical guidance to other developers, support story sizing, and enforce coding/configuration standards
• Collaborate with product owners, UX, business analysts, integration teams, and change management to ensure technical feasibility and sprint delivery
• Document system configurations, technical decisions, deployment scripts, and reusable components for maintainability and knowledge transfer

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
