Specific Skills

REQUIREMENTS Bachelors degree, or a foreign equivalent, in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Information, or a closely related discipline. Also, requires five years of progressive postbaccalaureate experience in software release engineering using CM languages. The five years, otherwise required and specified here, must also include three years of progressive postbaccalaureate experience in all of the following a building automated Continuous IntegrationContinuous Delivery CICD pipelines to provision resources and deploy applications; b leading implementations; c using formal source code management; and ddevelopment of scripts for use in the deployment process.br br NOTE ON BENEFICIARY QUALIFICATIONS The alien holds a U.S. Masters Degree in Information Technology, and has an underlying foreign Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. The aliens work experience of eight years, two months and five days with Aspect Software provides the 60 months of experience this position requires. Note that a letter of verification is available confirming the required experience was acquired over the time stated. See Section K. Also note, the employer is undergoing an internal job architecture restructuring project. This is resulting in the reclassification of job titles. As a consequence of this change, the fulltime, permanent, Section H position, being offered by the employer, it is wholly distinct from the job currently held by the alien see Section K, unique description and title. Person, as form reads, he therefore may later elevate to that Section H position, its education requirement already having been met, via either U.S. Masters or foreignsource Bachelors. Form, note, of course, allows entry only of one academiclevel earned and the highestlevel attained. This is just then to add further explanatory discussion. Aspect Software letter again fulfills all experiential components. Person involved ultimately strongly is qualified.br br NOTE ON PREVAILING WAGE DETERMINATION VALIDITY We comply with Title 20, Code of Federal Regulations quot;C.F.R.quot; 656.40c by filing this application prior to the expiration date of the prevailing wage determination valid through and including 06302023. This, alone, is enough to satisfy the specified regulation. See 20 C.F.R. 656.40c, indicating that quot;to use a prevailing wage rate provided by the National Processing Center or quot;NPCquot;, EMPLOYERS MUST FILE THEIR APPLICATIONS OR begin the recruitment period required by 656.17e...of this part within the validity period specified by the NPC.quot; 20 C.F.R. 656.40c. Emphasis added. It should also be noted that the recruitment events, undertaken in this matter, all were begun and ended while the prevailing wage determination was valid, and there were not any activities already moving and in process before the determination issued. This is the other way in which to establish 20 C.F.R. 656.40c compliance. Both, then, apply here with either one standalone sufficient.br br Failure to State quot;Kellogg Languagequot; Not Valid Basis to Deny According to Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals Cite Federal Insurance Company, 2008PER0037.br br Telecommuting Benefit Defined While some telecommuting is permitted, note that due to various regulations and policies, it is currently permissible to work remotely only from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. This position is required to be in the Boston office of the employerapplicant 3 days per week, with remote work allowable from home in specified state 2 days per week. Boston office address again is 200 Clarendon Street, Floor 30, Boston, MA 02116. This is the main location out of which roles will predominately be based.
