Direct Client Requirement on Senior Technical Architect (Public Safety) @ Augusta, ME

Hello Dear, Greetings.

This is Chandra from Nixsol Inc.,

 

We have an Direct Client  Requirement on  Senior Technical Architect (Public Safety)

 

Job Title : Senior Technical Architect (Public Safety)

Location: Augusta, ME

Duration :  6+ Months

 

We are seeking a second round of candidates for this position. The resource selected will receive functional direction from client and the tasks of this position will be focused more heavily on the gap analysis, requirements, conceptual design, etc. Please review the requirement for additional details.

 

The Public Safety Senior Architect will work collabratively with our state IT staff to provide technical analysis and recommendations.  The primary focus is to ensure that compliance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) is met.

Public Safety's Criminal History Record Information System (CHRI) currently has a sex offender component, but a gap exists between what it provides and what is required by SORNA.  CHRI utilizes an Oracle database and is currently undergoing a transition to a Web PL/SQL user interface (all except Sex offender Registry).

 

The Sex Offender Registry was not included as part of this transition and remains in legacy Oracle Forms.  Our intent is to migrate away from Oracle Forms, so part of this analysis and recommendation will be to determine how to handle the SOR user interface going forward.

 

A Sex Offender Registry Tool (SORT), provided by the US Department of Justice is available for us to utilize.  SORT utilizes a JDBC connection (Java) and a MySQL database.  It also includes a Web Services component as well as mapping (KML).  SORT meets all SORNA requirements, but may have additional functionality beyond what is required by SORNA.  SORT technical assistance may be available to us for a limited period of time.

 

We are looking to leverage as much of the SORT tool as possible, whether that is by pulling specific components from it or by replicating SORNA compliant functionality within the existing CHRI application.  We also want to make the CHRI user experience as consistent as possible and want to minimize ongoing system support to the greatest extent possible.

 

We have a number of technical options we are considering and we require an experienced senior-level technical architect to assist us during this important evaluation process.  This person will need to not only have very strong analytical skills, but preferably will be well versed in the key technologies used by SORT (Java) (Web Services) (KML) and CHRI (Web PL/SQL) so that in depth technical analysis can be done.

 

Note: pending the approval of additional funding, this engagement may be extended to include the development, implementation, and documentation of the recommended solution and also to provide technical guidance to optimize existing Java Web Services within CHRI.  

 

The Senior Architect will need to be familiar with a variety of the application technologies, environments, concepts, methodologies, practices, and procedures.  This person may be assigned a variety of complex tasks with minimal supervision.  Proven experience defining systems and application architecture is required. The architect will consult with IT staff and with the client to define needs or problems, conduct research, perform studies and surveys to obtain data, and analyze problems to assist IT staff in determining recommend solutions.

 

The typical workweek for this position will be during normal business hours Monday thru Friday, 8 hours per day.  However, this position will not work state holidays.
