Responsibilities include configuring forms, data capture, business rules, routing, approvals, and user access; connecting solutions to approved data sources; improving prototypes based on user testing and feedback; assessing operational results and technical constraints; documenting how solutions work; and preparing successful pilots for transition to enterprise development or long-term support.

• Experience must cover at least two of these areas: low-code/no-code or configurable-application development, workflow automation, software or web application development, business-process digitization, or rapid prototyping and minimum-viable-product development.
• Twelve (12) months of hands-on experience within the past 24 months performing digital application, workflow, or prototype development, including at least one personally developed solution used in an active business process or operational pilot within the past 18 months.

• Must have developed at least two solutions using at least two distinct non-Microsoft platforms, frameworks, or application-development technologies.
• At least one personally developed solution with substantive functionality beyond a basic form or template, such as structured data relationships, integration with multiple sources, or custom scripts or components.
• Experience personally developing at least two prototypes or pilots from requirements discovery through testing with users. At least one must have been available to representative users within 90 calendar days of initial discovery, and at least one qualifying example must be from the past 24 months.
• Minimum of two (2) years within the past five years working directly with users or process owners to analyze existing processes and design improved digital workflows, including at least one example within the past three years.
• Hands-on experience within the past five (5) years extending or integrating applications beyond basic platform configuration, including an example within the past 24 months. Examples of qualifying methods include REST APIs, relational databases or SQL, webhooks or web services, structured data exchange, general-purpose languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or C, and custom scripts or components.
• Must demonstrate at least two qualifying technical areas and an integration with an existing enterprise or authoritative data source.
• Experience conducting user testing or operational pilots for personally developed solutions within the past five years.
• Must have at least two examples of modifying a solution based on representative-user feedback or observed issues, including one within the past 24 months.
• Hands-on experience applying structured testing or defect tracking and development controls such as source/version control, separation of environments, or controlled deployment.
• Must also have adapted a solution to a documented technical or security constraint within the past 24 months.
• Experience preparing a personally developed solution for handoff, continued development, scaling, or sustainment by another team, including an example within the past three years.
• Experience evaluating and communicating prototype or pilot results to decision-makers, including at least two examples within the past five years and one within the past three years.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and collaborative software.
