Responsibilities
- Develop new components and enhancements to the financial management systems framework and the FMS suite of applications - adhering to client and New York City development standards
- Author technical designs that capture all functional and non-functional requirements and present them at a level of detail by which a developer could: write application code, construct reports or compile configuration bundles.
- Ensure that the FMS application software and solutions deliverables, as designed and developed by the client & their vendors, meets the City's functional, nonfunctional (technical, performance, operability, maintainability) and security requirements by conducting reviews and formal evaluations of the vendor's solutions and development work for~, completeness, and adherence to industry standards for Web-based secure systems;
- Serve as an escalation point for the resolution of production application issues when application issues are encountered in the software during: 1) the online day by users and support staff and 2) in the evening during the execution of the batch cycle. The candidate will similarly support software test tracks in non-production application environments.
- Design and Execute technical tests as necessary to ensure that vendor and client software deliveries address the business, technical and security problems in a manner consistent with client standards for quality and completeness.
- Review and provide feedback on functional designs in terms of technical feasibility and impact on performance, operability, security and maintainability;
- Gather production operational and security requirements and incorporate the requirements into the code / scripts products authored by the client development team and Vendors. Coordinate with the Financial Systems Production Operations Units to implement new software processes into the staging and production environments.
- Serve as a primary application security contact for the FMS project during the planning, analysis, and design phases of projects.
- Monitor ongoing projects to verify that security components are built and deployed as originally designed and align with client and industry standards.
- Improve the security position of FMS applications by planning, designing and integrating security based application improvements.
- Evaluating and resolving security issues and non-compliance situations at the application level and beyond.
- Working with appropriate teams to assure that the FMS application is integrated with client and industry security standards, protocols· and requirements from the application (Java, JEE), application servers (WebSphere), messaging servers (WebSphereMQ), servers (mid-range, mainframe, virtual, appliance, etc.), OS (AIX, Linux etc.), network (firewalls, etc.), data store (LDAP, Oracle).
- Assure that the FMS application adheres to standards for authentication mechanisms, authorization procedures, auditing/logging, and user administration and access control.
