• Use software engineering experience to design job-related coding questions and review AI-generated responses for correctness, efficiency, clarity, and alignment with real-world engineering practices • Provide structured feedback to improve AI understanding of programming tasks, system design, and engineering best practices • Collaborate on project-based work as new projects become available

Position Overview The Requirements Engineer will support a large-scale government agency initiative to modernize a complex, interdependent system of systems migrating from legacy on-premises platforms to AWS Cloud Native architectures. This role is not traditional business analysis. It is a modernization-focused technical requirements engineering role responsible for translating legacy system behavior, modernization strategy, and architectural direction into structured EPICs, features, user stories, and an actionable Agile backlog. The Requirements Engineer will work as part of an Agile Scrum Team and collaborate with other Requirements Engineers across parallel workstreams to ensure coordinated backlog development, sequencing of interdependent capabilities, and successful end-to-end system-of-systems delivery.   Key Responsibilities Legacy System Discovery & Migration Planning - Conduct structured discovery sessions to understand legacy on-prem systems, workflows, data dependencies, and integration points. - Document current-state (As-Is) and target-state (To-Be) capabilities supporting AWS Cloud Native migration. - Support development of phased migration plans (e.g., refactor vs. lift-and-shift decisions). - Identify cross-system dependencies that must be sequenced to prevent downstream rework or hybrid thrashing. - Collaborate with architects to ensure requirements align to target cloud-native design principles.   EPIC Development & Backlog Formation - Develop modernization EPICs aligned to: - Cloud-native re-architecture - Data ingestion modernization - Integration redesign - Automation of manual workflow gates - DevSecOps enablement - Decompose EPICs into features and refined user stories with: - Clear acceptance criteria - Testable outcomes - Defined dependencies - Establish initial product backlog in collaboration with Product Owners. - Ensure traceability from high-level modernization objectives to sprint-ready user stories.   Cross-Workstream Requirements Coordination - Collaborate with Requirements Engineers in other workstreams to: - Coordinate interdependent user stories - Align sequencing of integration capabilities - Prevent duplication of effort - Manage shared components (e.g., data engineering, DevSecOps services) - Maintain visibility of system-of-systems impacts when new requirements are introduced. - Support integrated release planning across workstreams.   Agile Scrum Execution - Participate in Agile Scrum ceremonies: - Sprint Planning - Backlog Refinement - Daily Standups - Reviews & Retrospectives - Work closely with Product Owners to: - Prioritize backlog items - Groom stories for sprint readiness - Ensure stories meet INVEST principles - Define and document Definition of Done (DoD) criteria including: - Code complete - Automated tests implemented - Documentation updated - Security checks passed - Support incremental delivery aligned to modernization milestones.   Governance & Documentation Support - Develop requirements artifacts supporting: - Architecture review board submissions - Interface control documentation - Security authorization processes - Maintain end-to-end Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). - Ensure requirements are testable and align with validation frameworks. - Support documentation of APIs, data contracts, and integration specifications.   Data-Intensive & AWS Cloud Native Requirements - Define requirements for: - High-volume data processing systems - Event-driven and serverless architectures - API-based integration patterns - Database modernization (e.g., Postgres/Aurora migration) - Capture of non-functional requirements including: - Scalability - Performance - Security (IAM, encryption, access controls) - Observability - Cost optimization

• Infrastructure management and optimization (AWS, MongoDB, infrastructure as code) • Platform capabilities including but not limited to authentication, authorization, entitlement, AI inference • CI/CD pipeline improvements and build tooling • Worker queue management (BullMQ) and API development (tRPC) • Developer experience improvements and tooling • Monitoring and observability (Datadog) • Service reliability and performance optimization
