You may qualify at the GS-13 if you fulfill the following qualifications:

A. One year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 grade level in the Federal service as listed below:

• Developing the optimal means in which enterprise data architectures should be designed and implemented to maximize system performance data interoperability and data security.
• Leading the management of and maintaining an enterprise data architecture in alignment with U.S. Government or International Partners ecosystems (e.g. War Data Platform-WDP Command and Control of the Information Environment) as directed to support an Agencys mission.
• Consulting with customers and key stakeholders to evaluate functional requirements for enterprise applications translating complex business needs into scalable data architectures.
• Designing the structural frameworks metadata schemas and integration standards for enterprise data catalogs mapping complex data flows and disparate data sources to ensure alignment with the target enterprise architecture.
• Reviewing new and existing program/project architecture for compliance with IT standards policies and architectural plans; establishing necessary target and interim state data architectures to provide incremental business value as the architecture transforms and modernizes.
• Staying current with emerging technologies and industry trends continuously enhancing data architecture to drive innovation and improvement.

• Basic Requirements: Bachelors degree in computer science or bachelors degree with 30 semester hours in a combination of mathematics statistics and computer science. At least 15 of the 30 semester hours must have included any combination of statistics and mathematics that included differential and integral calculus.
