This is an ideal role for someone who combines deep Datacap expertise with strong software development and problem-solving capabilities.

- Develop and support integrations using REST APIs, SOAP web services, databases, file-based interfaces, enterprise content repositories, workflow platforms, and business applications.
- Integrate document-processing capabilities with enterprise platforms such as IBM FileNet P8 and IBM Content Navigator where applicable.
- Manage metadata mapping, database lookups, document and metadata exports, API data exchange, retries, error handling, audit logging, and exception management.
- Develop and maintain custom components using C#,.NET, Java, JavaScript, SQL, XML, REST, and SOAP, with particular emphasis on C#/.NET for custom Datacap actions and extensions.
- Support secure enterprise and federal environments, including practices related to NIST, FISMA, IAM/RBAC, audit logging, vulnerability remediation, application security, PII protection, and configuration management.
