Workflow Automation Developer

Workflow Automation DeveloperNorfolk, VirginiaSpektrum supports apex purchasers (NATO, UN, EU and National Government and Defence) and their Tier 1 supplier ecosystem with a wide range of specialist services. We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise. We are looking for personnel to join our team and support key client projects.Role and DutiesProvide hands-on digital workflow prototyping and citizen development support to digitize CAPDEV work and information flows using approved platforms and development tools outside the Microsoft Power Platform environment.The contractor is expected to work directly with operational users to identify workflow problems and opportunities, rapidly design and personally build proof-of-concept and pilot solutions, test those solutions in operational use, iterate based on evidence and user feedback, and prepare successful solutions for transition to enterprise development, DevSecOps, platform, or scaling organizations.This is a hands-on rapid delivery role. The requirement is not primarily for enterprise architecture, strategic advisory, product management, programme management, software development team leadership, or supervision of development performed by others.The objective is to allow CAPDEV to test digitally transformed workflows quickly and at relatively low cost before committing resources to enduring implementation, while ensuring successful prototypes generate sufficient operational, technical, and requirements evidence to support responsible scaling.Essential QualificationsEducation or Relevant Professional Experience: A University/Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Engineering, Human-Centered Design, Business Process Management, Business Information Technology, or a closely related field; or a minimum of five years of directly relevant professional experience in lieu of the degree.Directly relevant professional experience shall include work in at least two of the following areas: low-code/no-code or configurable-application development; workflow automation; software or web application development; business-process digitization; rapid prototyping or minimum-viable-product development.Recent End-to-End Hands-On Digital Solution Delivery: Demonstrated recent experience personally developing digital applications, workflows, prototypes, or pilots from identification of a user or business-process requirement through configuration or development, testing, user feedback, and operational use or pilot activity.Non-Microsoft Low-Code, No-Code, or Configurable Application Development: Minimum of two years within the last five years, including hands-on development within the last twenty-four months, personally designing, configuring, building, testing, and deploying applications or workflows using non-Microsoft low-code, no-code, configurable-application, workflow, or comparable rapid-development platforms.Rapid Prototyping and Minimum Viable Solution Delivery: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, rapidly translating an identified operational or business-process requirement into a testable digital proof of concept, prototype, minimum viable solution, or pilot.Business Process Discovery and Workflow Redesign: Minimum of two years within the last five years, including at least one qualifying example within the last three years, working directly with operational users, process owners, managers, or information stakeholders to understand existing business processes and design digitally enabled future workflows.Data Integration and Lightweight Technical Development: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, personally extending, integrating, or supporting digital applications or workflows using technical methods beyond basic platform configuration.Operational Pilot, User Testing, and Iterative Improvement: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, conducting user testing or operational pilot activity for a personally developed digital application, workflow, or prototype.Lifecycle Discipline and Delivery within Constrained Environments: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, personally applying lifecycle, configuration, testing, security, or sustainment practices to rapidly developed digital applications, workflows, prototypes, or pilots.Transition to Enterprise Development or Scaling: Demonstrated experience within the last five years, including at least one qualifying example within the last three years, preparing a personally developed prototype, pilot, application, or workflow for continued development, production implementation, enterprise scaling, or sustainment by another developer, DevSecOps team, platform owner, system integrator, or operational support organization.Prototype Assessment and Decision Communication: Demonstrated experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last three years, evaluating and communicating the results of a digital prototype, pilot, application, or workflow to managers, process owners, product owners, or other decision makers.Language Proficiency: Demonstrated proficiency in English as defined in STANAG 6001 (Standardized Linguistic Profile (SLP) 3333 - Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) or equivalent.Working Location: Norfolk, VAWorking Policy: On-SiteContract Duration: January 2027 – December 2031Security Clearance: Valid National or NATO Secret personal security clearance
