Position Title: Process Engineer for Mobile Architecture, Design, and Platform Team
Position Description:
This is a position as a process engineer supporting all lines of service within the Commonwealth of PA’s Office of Administration – Office of Information Technology Bureau of Solutions Management (OA-OIT BSM) that are related to delivery of mobile solutions. The selected candidate will work with the enterprise architect, agency’s development teams, program delivery areas, and business partners to develop, document, communicate, and support lines of service, delivery of products and functionality, define Azure design patterns, and support holistic and dependable delivery of mobile solutions for all teams that build mobile applications within OA-OIT BSM. The subject areas will include reviews and updates to all mobile platforms within OA-OIT BSM’s platform. Based on iterative evaluations, the selected candidate will develop designs, proposals, prototypes, and other artifacts to support the enterprise vision and implement the strategy plan for the enterprise mobile platform to meet existing and future needs.

Specific Duties:
All work products would meet industry, Java, and Azure, best practices and standards and as further defined by the Commonwealth of PA’s Office of Administration – Office of Information Technology and the Enterprise Architecture and Service Management (EASM) team. The enterprise’s mobile domain includes applications hosted on a standardized platform of Azure Cloud. Some work may leverage JBoss virtual server technology. Most of the mobile applications are iOS custom apps with a minority of android custom apps being delivered and supported. Enterprise devices for business areas are iOS iPads and iPhones, but there has been some increase in the provisioning of android phones. All applications that are advertised for use are business partner facing, they are not for citizen use. This position will be responsible for documenting and communicating the vision that the team develops to support current configurations and future opportunities into other service options such as citizen facing or more android native development opportunities.
This position will be responsible for developing, documenting, and communicating the technological health of the OA-OIT BSM mobile platforms and will support all mobile platform developers, consumers, and support personnel, specifically in providing excellent customer service. The candidate will work closely with the enterprise architect and the service delivery team to define service delivery and processes, conduct testing, implement service monitoring, complete risk assessments, and implement customer service communications for the team. Work will include developing digital artifacts to support communication to disparate development teams. Documentation will include strategy and roadmaps, design plans, hosting pattern and implementation documents, system to system integration patterns, guides for reusable coding and enterprise frameworks, configuration standards, logging requirements, SDLC and CI-CD process maps, testing guidance, implementation and support plans, and educational resources to support new technologies and techniques.
Additional activities to support this work includes analyzing and documenting pending operating systems upgrade schedules, impacts of technology stack updates to current application inventory, documenting the team’s updated or new feature sets, and participating in technology review and planning teams, such as EASM specifically in hosting requirements and solutions. This position will support the maintenance and support of enterprise common framework libraries and enterprise shared components that are delivered to other OA-OIT BSM teams to implement into product solutions via testing, service monitoring, and risk assessments.
This position is responsible for communicating constraints including, risks, time, resources, and scope to BSM management as it impacts delivery of work products or delivery of a stable mobile platform.
