HHSC IT is continuing to develop an HHS data
integration hub in the Performance Management & Analytics System (PMAS)
with a goal to accomplish the following:

• Implementation
and configuration of the infrastructure for the data integration hub

• Design,
development, and implementation (DD&I) of the data integration hub using an
agile methodology for all standard SDLC phases that includes, but is not
limited to:

o Validation of
performance metric requirements

o Creation of
Epics/User Stories/Tasks

o Automation of data
acquisition from a variety of data sources

o Development of
complex SQL scripts

o Testing –
integration, load and stress

o Deployment /
publication internally and externally

• Operations
support and enhancement of the data integration hub

This development effort will utilize an agile
methodology based upon the approach currently in use at HHSC for the
Performance Management & Analytics System (PMAS).

responsibilities may include:

• Filling the
role of a technical leader, leading an agile development team through a
project.

sources and transform it to fit into a dimensional model.

• Collaborating
with other members of the Data Engineering Team on the design and
implementation of an optimal data design.

• Verification
and validation of SQL scripts, Informatica automation and database views.

• Developing
automated means of performing verification and validation.

• Work closely
with the Architects and Data Engineering Team on implementation designs and
data acquisition strategies.

• Develop
mockups and work with customers for validation

• Working
closely with other members of the team to address technical problems

• Assisting with
the implementation and configuration of developmental tools

• Producing and
maintaining technical specifications, diagrams, or other documentation as
