IRS IT Modernization Salesforce Solutions Architect

Join the ASI Partners family as a legacy person you can come back to or refer others to as a government career source and interview for a direct-hire REMOTE opportunity with a major subcontractor on a long-term contract (potential to 2029) serving a massive IT modernization effort at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

We are looking for a fully-certified Salesforce Solutions Architect with 5 years+ in architecture, ideally some time with PD2, and experience working on Salesforce/Mulesoft, Agile CI/CD, Security model, Apex, LWC, etc.

Having a Public Trust clearance, a SECRET level government clearance, or having a higher-level clearance would expedite your start date on the contract, but we will also consider strong candidates interested in government service that can stay in place for 4-8 weeks while the clearance process finalizes. WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT U.S. CITIZENS and will verify personal information after the initial interview was successful to move forward.

So, what is the major modernization effort?

Older modernization roadmaps lacked long-term retirement strategies for core mainframes so IRS leadership rolled out a new technical framework stretching through 2029 with heavy emphasis on building a Unified API Layer to unlock legacy data. The IRS plans to wrap up its move toward a single, unified Enterprise Case Management (ECM) system. This platform will consolidate siloed databases and allow employees to support taxpayers from a single interface. 

Fiscal Year 2028 Target : This is the projected completion window for updating the critical Individual Master File (IMF). The IMF has processed individual taxpayer data since 1970 using outdated COBOL and Assembly Language Code. The IRS aims to fully convert this core code into modern, developer-friendly Java.

By establishing a solid data structure and robust DevOps pipeline (using tools like SFDX and Git), the subcontractor we are hiring for helps create the stable infrastructure required for the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, the Taxpayer Advocate Service, and the Office of Appeals to safely adopt these modern AI systems.

Tech contests and other perks in addition to great HR benefits

Among great benefits like three weeks PTO, parental leave, and top of the line options for medical/dental/vision benefits and 401K, our subcontractor holds AI application contests that can land you an additional $10K for a good concept, and sets KPI metrics which awards up to $20K additional for meeting those metrics. They will certify you for free including also Agentforce certification. There are other great perks such as optional trips for people interested in cross-project management and discount programs. The company is stable, growing, and has been around for 20 years.

They are looking for a number of people, including the below position, so if you do not meet the criteria for this one, ASI Partners will interview you and we can offer other options if you meet the qualifications for those. Please read the below for the job requirements and qualifications needed for this exciting multi-year project for the IRS and apply immediately if you are interested. We will be choosing our team in the next 20 days already so go ahead and apply now with a solid resume if interested.
