This position is part of the IBC HRD Payroll Operations Division, Office of the Secretary of Interior. This is an exciting hybrid position that performs work in the areas of software development as well as accounting and audit support. As part of a five person team, you will help design and maintain software applications used within the Payroll Operations Division's (POD) Front End. These applications are used by branches within the division to support the processing of payroll, benefits, and debts. A few of the key applications in this suite are the Information Resource Module (IRM), Payroll Accounting Module (PAM), Payroll Benefits Module (PBM), Payroll Debt Module (PDM), Payroll Management Application (PMA), and the W2C Application (W2A). Our team works closely with the programmers in the Payroll Systems Management Branch (PSMB) to develop these applications. We design and create the specifications that are used by PSMB to develop the software. These specifications include the design of the database structure, interface files and loads, as well as screens and reports. We consult with POD management, subject matter experts, and staff employees to develop software that will help accomplish the goals of the division.
Our team is also responsible for testing the applications throughout the software development life cycle. It is exciting to develop and enhance products that are used by people you see every day on the IBC campus! The team is also responsible for supporting the division in the fulfillment of all audit-related requests and departmental audit initiatives. This entails providing requested documentation to auditors, explaining differences in calculations between auditors and the payroll system, and assisting in the establishment and maintenance of input, output, and processing controls throughout the division. If you are looking for challenging and diverse work that is a nice blend of both accounting/auditing and systems development, please apply!
