Description : Application Services is in search of an Advanced Quality Assurance Analyst in assisting the Office of Information Technology with infrastructure support for remediations required for FDOT systems which interface with state-wide accounting data.

Background: As a result of the Department s efforts to re-engineer and modernize core financial systems, there has been over 1,500 computing assets identified as performing some level of financial planning, analysis, and management functionality that are impacted by the State of Florida's accounting system. The Florida Planning, Accounting, and LedgerManagement (PALM) project is a multiyear endeavor to replace the State of Florida s accounting and cash management systems with a modern financial management solution. The Florida PALM Project is targeted to replace Central, Payroll, and Departmental FLAIR functionality, with go-live scheduled for January 6, 2026.
