Koniag IT Systems, LLC , a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an experienced DAF365 JML Lead Engineer to support the Department of the Air Force (DAF) in advancing its enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) capabilities. This position will lead a comprehensive technical study effort under Task Order 0003, System Enhancement Studies, with a primary focus on defining the architecture, workflows, and implementation roadmap required to transform the DAF365 Joiner, Mover, Leaver (JML) process from a legacy, manual, script-based identity creation model into a robust, automated, DAF ICAM-driven provisioning framework. The ideal candidate is a technically seasoned identity engineer and collaborative leader with deep hands-on experience designing attribute-based provisioning workflows in Okta Universal Directory environments integrated with Microsoft Entra ID who can translate complex operational requirements into actionable, decision-ready technical architectures and phased implementation roadmaps.
*Note, this is a 120-day study. All personnel assigned to DAF365 JML study activities must hold a final Secret security clearance. This position is Remote.
The DAF365 JML Lead Engineer will serve as the primary technical authority for Study 3 of the DAF ICAM System Enhancement Studies effort, leading the analysis, workflow design, architecture development, and documentation required to produce a decision-ready Technical Study Report within 90 calendar days of Task Order award.The Lead Engineer will coordinate closely with the Program Manager, Identity Architects, Licensing/Cost Analyst, Systems Analyst, and Government stakeholders to ensure all study outputs are technically precise, operationally grounded, and fully traceable to Performance Work Statement (PWS) Section 4.3 requirements. The study will progress through five tightly scoped analytical workstreams, each corresponding to a PWS requirement, and culminate in a phased implementation roadmap with a ROM cost estimate suitable for informing a subsequent implementation Task Order.
Principal responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
Lead the comprehensive mapping of identity attributes currently flowing from DAF authoritative Human Resources (HR) sources—including Military Personnel Data System (MILPDS) for military personnel and Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS) for civilian employees—into the Okta Universal Directory (UD), exposing attribute quality deficiencies, naming convention inconsistencies, and data gaps that prevent reliable Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) rule execution downstream.
Define a formal attribute schema specifying required fields, accepted value formats, data type constraints, and source-of-record assignments for each attribute class relevant to DAF365 provisioning, including rank, unit, Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), clearance level, and duty status.
Document explicit sanitization and normalization rules defining how incoming raw HR data is transformed into clean, policy-actionable attributes within the Okta UD before any downstream provisioning event is triggered.
Assess current data pipeline quality and identify where transformation logic must reside—within Okta Workflows, an upstream extract-transform-load (ETL) process, or a combination of both—and specify the controls that prevent attribute errors from propagating to incorrect license assignments, improper group memberships, and access control failures…
