While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species. Peraton is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website application architecture updates and API integration for a federal data migration program. You will design and implement the integration between the federal consultation platform and the cloud data infrastructure, enabling new species data to flow seamlessly into existing consultation workflows.
