MPI and VHIC Engineering Lead

MPI and VHIC Engineering Lead The Opportunity: The Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Master Person Index (MPI) is the authoritative enterprise source for the VA's known identities and their traits and attributes, correlating identity data from DoD and third-party Cloud Service Providers via probabilistic matching through IBM Master Data Management and InfoSphere MDM. MPI is implemented as a combination of COTS products, including Oracle Database, IBM DB2, and InfoSphere MDM, and custom-built software, and currently manages 85M+ unique identities, serving 900M+ transactions per month, integrated with 200+ applications. MPI must meet a 99.99% production-availability target – the program's highest availability bar, shared only with Internal and External SSO. The Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) product issues health identification cards used at VA medical facilities to streamline appointment check-in and serves as the system of record for Veteran photographs. VHIC is currently implemented as a custom-developed software solution and must meet a 99.9% production-availability target. As MPI and VHIC Engineering Lead, you own the technical roadmap and engineering leadership for both the MPI and VHIC engineering teams, including probabilistic-matching tuning and identity reconciliation for MPI, and custom-application delivery for VHIC, coordinating closely with the ICAM [... source excerpt omitted ...] r the MPI Support team, including IBM InfoSphere MDM probabilistic-matching configuration or tuning for identity resolution and retrieval across 85M+ identities. Own MPI's 99.99% production-availability target and VHIC's 99.9% production-availability target and lead incident triage or Root Cause Analysis for Tier 3 escalations on both products. Lead data-integrity, bulk-validation or cleanup, and identity-reconciliation engineering for MPI and IGA per the program's Data Management requirements, including scripts and automated tooling for routine data validation.
