Contract Duration: 18 months
Summary:
We’re looking for a Project Manager to lead a software engineering team through a large-scale platform modernization. The project consolidates a suite of APIs and backend data ingest processes into a centralized, containerized platform built on OpenShift, with a focus on resiliency, maintainability, security, and scalability. Alongside the core platform work, the team is building a new data visualization application and enhancing two existing internal applications.
