*APPLICANT MUST BE A CURRENT PART-TIME OR FULL-TIME STUDENT (MINIMUM OF 6 CREDIT HOURS) IN UPCOMING SEMESTER OR IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SEMESTER.
Position Description:
We are seeking graduate level interns to help create and standardize core Medicaid (and other social services programs) data management artifacts.

Work focuses on producing and sustaining the following deliverables: Interface Registry and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
Key Responsibilities:
Requirements & discovery: partner with BIT and DSS stakeholders to gather interface requirements, inventory data sources, map current interface structures, and understand system to system interactions and data flows (including reporting to internal/external partners, and data storage, organization, and security).
Interface Registry: help compile and maintain the Interface Registry across DSS applications; ensure entries are complete and current.
ICDs (Interface Control Documents): draft, update, and standardize ICDs for interfaces lacking documentation; capture protocols (e.g., APIs, SFTP), payload schemas, field definitions, transformations, schedules, error handling, and security controls.

Strong candidates will have experience or knowledge of how data can move between systems (APIs, SFTP, etc.); experience or knowledge of how data is stored (relational databases, ADABAS, etc.); be comfortable reading payloads and schemas; and be able to synthesize the business purpose of an interface (e.g., why data is sent to a specific partner) and reconcile field definitions to applicable federal standards. Proficiency with SQL, familiarity with data modeling tools, especially PowerBI, and exposure to data governance frameworks and business intelligence concepts are expected.

Successful applicant(s) will be required to undergo a background investigation. An arrest/conviction record will not necessarily bar employment.
