  • Support system integration efforts with Microsoft Power Platform and other enterprise applications.
  • Develop technical documentation, implementation guidance, operational procedures, and knowledge transfer materials.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and continuous improvement activities.

What You Will Need

  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a Federal or DoD "public trust"; candidates must obtain approved adjudication of their public trust prior to onboarding with Guidehouse. Candidates with an active public trust or suitability are preferred
