About The Position

The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developer provides dedicated technical support, development, and advisory services for AI and RPA integration within ACC/A589 classified environments; supports user-driven innovation challenges and in-person facilitation; ensures compliance with cybersecurity, data governance, and network-specific requirements for SIPRNet and AFSCI operations. Designs, prototypes, and deploys automation solutions that directly support Air Combat Command's operational mission. This is a hands-on development role. Write bots, test them with actual users, refine them based on operational feedback, and deliver solutions that Airmen use every day. Measured by throughput: a minimum of three prototypes per quarter and two operational transitions per quarter, working in parallel with another RPA Developer to maintain continuous delivery.
