ole Context / Scope

The role will be responsible for maintaining structure and consistency across other systems

No expectation of conversion to full-time; conversion is highly unlikely

Budget constraints are tight; hiring manager was transparent about limitations

Tooling & Process Order

1. Azure DevOps (ADO) primary system

2. Craft.io Nice to have not required- Hard to find

3. TargetProcess (TP) development experience preferred if available

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Design and build API integrations between Craft.io and ADO

Support a three system integration model where data currently does not flow well

After initial API integration work, assist with building out multiple JavaScript functions to support additional workflows and automation needs

Focus is on extending and stabilizing existing systems, not converting platforms

Technical Requirements

Primary focus: Seasoned API development experience

Strong ability to clearly explain and articulate technical work

Tech stack must align with existing environment:

o Node.js is required

No ability to train on:

o Code writing fundamentals

o Deployment processes

Some flexibility to upskill on PMO tools and hierarchy concepts, but prior experience is preferred

Documentation & Soft Skills

Strong documentation skills are critical

The EA team has specific documentation standards required during deployment

This contractor will work across multiple enterprise systems, so clear, thorough documentation is essential

Dependencies / Key assumptions:

Craft.io to ADO API

o Capability level work items

o Work item hierarchy maintained

o State based integration

States and workspaces mapped appropriately to ADO- likely via a database

o Comprehensive architecture diagrams and documentation

Field definitions and mapping

ADO to Craft.io API

o State-based changes

Build out filters/ JavaScript for TargetProcess integrations/ automations

o Bi-directional dataflow ATP <-> ADO

Assist with API for project migration/cleanup efforts

o Move projects/ work items between orgs

o KPI item type cleanup

o Risk/ issue cleanup- mass item type changes

API for recycle bin cleanup- remove items with DELETE tag

Inactive project reports geared towards unused PM project deletion

AD group creation automations

b. ETL/ELT processes (nice to have, not mandatory)

c. Data validation & error handling

Apptio target Process & Craft.io Knowledge (Nice to have)

Apptio Target Process API: Portfolio management, resource allocation, team hierarchy, custom fields

Craft.io: Project/portfolio management capabilities (verify current scope with your team)

Experience with project portfolio management (PPM) systems is a plus

Ideally: Prior integration experience with either system
