The posting

Company Overview:

Over the past 15 years, eTel has delivered essential solutions for the federal government by securing and managing data, providing scalable identity access, modernizing legacy systems, and building high-performance platforms. By integrating new technologies and ensuring reliable operations we help agencies stay prepared for future challenges As a premier technology solutions and services company to the US federal government, eTel possesses longstanding relationships across the federal civilian marketplace. Other customers include the broader Treasury Department, Commerce Department, and State Department.

eTel offers integrated CMMI Level 3 processes, tools, and techniques with innovative, cost-efficient, and secure solutions to address complex challenges. eTel also holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certifications, and offers dedicated subject matter experts (SMEs) and thought leaders that possess a deep understanding of customers’ environments and challenges.

Place of Performance: Hybrid – Washington, DC Metro Area (IRS facilities and approved remote work locations)

Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship required

Security Clearance: Must be able to obtain and maintain an IRS Moderate Background Investigation (MBI)/Public Trust.

About the role:

You will build out Kong on the IRS platform and move APIs onto it in planned waves, without breaking the systems that call them. You will work in a migration factory with clear IRS approval gates, two week sprints, and a lead platform engineer who has run this environment for years.

What you will do:

  • Configure Kong Gateway Enterprise control and data planes, Workspaces, RBAC, services, routes and plugins on Red Hat OpenShift and cloud.
  • Convert webMethods API definitions to Kong configuration using decK templates, kept in Git.
  • Migrate simple APIs (routing, OAuth2 or OIDC, mTLS) by template, and medium APIs with consumer, ACL and certificate setup grouped by provider.
  • Help redesign the few complex APIs that use custom webMethods policies, using standard Kong plugins first.
  • Run functional equivalency tests: send identical requests to the webMethods and Kong versions, then compare status, headers, payload, auth and latency.
  • Support dual run cutovers with gradual traffic shifts, and rehearse rollback every wave.
  • Apply security patterns for mTLS, OAuth2 client credentials, JWT, ACL, IP restriction and rate limiting, each approved by IRS.
  • Follow IRS change control: impact assessment, lower environment testing, written rollback, Change Advisory Board (CAB) approval.
  • Write runbooks and migration records so others can support what you built.

What you bring:

  • 4+ years in API gateway, integration or middleware engineering.
  • Hands on configuration of Kong, or a comparable gateway such as webMethods API Gateway, Apigee, MuleSoft or AWS API Gateway.
  • Working knowledge of REST, HTTP, TLS and mTLS, OAuth2, OIDC and JWT.
  • Experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift and declarative configuration in Git.
  • Comfort with Linux, shell scripting and at least one of Python or Go.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Ability to obtain and keep an IRS Moderate Background Investigation (MBI); you must meet IRS suitability and residency requirements.

Nice to have:

  • Kong certification, CKA, or a cloud certification.
  • IBM webMethods experience, especially API migration.
  • An active IRS MBI or prior IRS work.
  • Custom Kong plugin work in Lua or Go.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
