Koniag IT Systems, LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking a Triage & Assessment Analyst with a Secret security clearance to support KITS and our government customer. The position is remote.
Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, commuter benefits and tuition reimbursement. Koniag IT Systems, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an experienced Triage & Assessment Analyst to support a critical Government Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) initiative. This role supports a large-scale Application and Systems Enablement effort issued under an ICAM Enterprise Master IDIQ Contract. The Triage & Assessment Analyst will serve as a specialized technical analyst responsible for conducting comprehensive assessments of NIPRNet applications to determine their readiness, compatibility, and optimal integration pathway for onboarding onto the centralized ICAM technical stack—leveraging Okta for Identity Provider (IdP) services and SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)—in direct support of the Department of Defense (DoD) Zero Trust Execution Roadmap. The ideal candidate is an analytically driven technical professional with a strong background in enterprise identity and access management, application architecture assessment, and federal IT security requirements. This individual must be detail-oriented, highly organized, and capable of rapidly evaluating diverse application portfolios to produce clear, actionable, and well-documented triage findings that drive efficient and informed enablement decisions.
This position requires an active Secret clearance and may require occasional travel to Government facilities. Primary work will be performed remotely.
The Triage & Assessment Analyst will serve as the analytical backbone of the application enablement pipeline, responsible for conducting structured technical assessments of pre-registered applications and producing the detailed triage findings that inform integration planning, resource allocation, and enablement pathway determination. This individual will work closely with the migration team lead, migration engineers, platform engineers, and application owners to gather technical information, evaluate application identity postures, identify integration risks, and classify each application according to its appropriate enablement approach. The Triage & Assessment Analyst is expected to deliver thorough, accurate, and well-organized assessment outputs that enable the broader enablement team to execute integrations efficiently and in alignment with program priorities.
Principal responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
Execute the comprehensive technical triage of pre-registered applications within program-defined timelines, conducting structured assessments of each application's current identity state, authentication mechanisms, authorization frameworks, and technical readiness for integration with the ICAM technical stack.
Review and analyze completed application migration questionnaires provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI), identifying completeness, accuracy, and sufficiency of technical data for triage and enablement planning purposes.
Document questionnaire deficiencies in the Enablement Tracking Database, notifying the Migration Team Lead of incomplete, inaccurate, or insufficient submissions and recommending placement of affected applications into Government-Induced Hold (GIH) status pending resolution.
Conduct structured gap analyses for each assessed application, comparing the application's current identity and access management state against Okta IdP and SailPoint IIQ capability requirements to identify technical gaps, compatibility issues, and integration dependencies.
Develop and maintain a documented risk register for each assessed application, clearly articulating integration challenges such as legacy codebase constraints, non-standard authentication mechanisms, proprietary access control implementations, and other technical impediments to successful enablement.
Determine and document the appropriate enablement pathway for each assessed application, classifying applications as candidates for self-service, automated, or dedicated white glove professional services based on their technical complexity, integration readiness, and risk profile.
Produce clear, detailed, and step-by-step technical pathway documentation for each assessed application, providing migration engineers and application owners with an actionable roadmap for successful enablement.
Upload, maintain, and continuously update all triage findings, gap analyses, risk registers, and pathway determinations in the Enablement Tracking Database, ensuring data is accurate, searchable, and queryable by Government stakeholders in real time.
Coordinate directly with Application Owners and their technical representatives to gather additional technical information required to complete assessments, scheduling and facilitating technical discovery sessions as needed to supplement questionnaire data.
Initiate and manage the Application Owner Escalation Matrix process for unresponsive or non-participating application owners, documenting all engagement attempts and escalating to the Migration Team Lead per established timelines when application owner participation cannot be secured.
Collaborate with the Migration Team Lead to support program prioritization activities, providing assessment-informed recommendations on application sequencing based on technical readiness, risk level, integration complexity, and program-defined prioritization criteria.
Support the ongoing monitoring and tracking of all applications across the enablement pipeline, identifying stalled applications, flagging emerging risks, and providing timely status updates to the Migration Team Lead and program leadership.
Contribute to the development and continuous refinement of triage methodology, assessment frameworks, questionnaire templates, and standard operating procedures to improve assessment consistency, efficiency, and quality across the application portfolio.
Assist in the development of program metrics and reporting outputs by ensuring triage data in the Enablement Tracking Database is consistently structured, accurately categorized, and suitable for aggregation into the program Metrics Dashboard.
Support the transition-in process by assisting in the initial ingestion, organization, and baseline review of the GFI application portfolio database and completed questionnaires received from the predecessor contractor.
Ensure all assessment activities and documentation comply with applicable DoD security requirements, including CUI handling, OPSEC, and DoD cybersecurity certification requirements.
Maintain current knowledge of evolving ICAM platform capabilities, identity integration standards, and DoD Zero Trust requirements, continuously applying updated knowledge to improve assessment accuracy and enablement pathway recommendations.
