Responsibilities:
- Modify and enhance VistA/MUMPS applications to eliminate or replace SSN usage within business processes, user interfaces, reports, audit trails, and related functionality while implementing approved approaches for transitioning to enterprise identifiers.
- Analyze existing VistA routines, data structures, workflows, and application dependencies to identify affected functionality, troubleshoot defects, and implement secure, maintainable code consistent with VA and project development standards.
- Develop and execute unit tests and support functional, integration, regression, User Acceptance Testing, deployment validation, and production-readiness activities to ensure modifications preserve existing functionality and meet approved requirements.
- Collaborate with Quality Assurance personnel to investigate defects, implement corrections, verify resolutions, and support post-release troubleshooting and application stability.
- Follow secure software development and sensitive-data-handling practices when working with PII and PHI, support applicable VA privacy, security, and NIST control requirements, and produce technical documentation describing application changes and implementation considerations.
- Collaborate with Lead Developers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, QA personnel, cybersecurity teams, and other stakeholders within an Agile environment, participating in Sprint Planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives while communicating estimates, technical issues, dependencies, and risks.
- Take on additional tasks and responsibilities as needed to support team objectives and ensure the success of the project.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience, with 5+ years of professional VistA/MUMPS development experience.
- Strong hands-on experience programming within VistA using MUMPS/M and InterSystems Caché, GT.M, or a comparable M-based platform.
- Experience modifying or supporting VistA packages, modules, data structures, or other healthcare information systems, including analysis of existing routines, workflows, and application dependencies.
- Experience with software debugging and troubleshooting, source control, peer code review, unit and integration testing, and Agile software development practices.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an understanding of secure software development practices and the ability to accurately troubleshoot complex application issues.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary software development team and communicate technical issues, dependencies, and risks.
Additional Qualifications:
- Experience supporting Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VistA environments, particularly ADT, PCE, AICS, Record Tracking, VistA Audit Solutions, or related VistA packages.
- Familiarity with PII/PHI protection, healthcare data privacy requirements, and applicable NIST security controls, HIPAA, FISMA, or VA security requirements.
- Experience working within Agile/Scrum development teams supporting federal healthcare modernization, application remediation, or complex enterprise healthcare environments.
