RPA Developer

Koniag IT Systems LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an RPA Developer with a TS/SCI security clearance to support KITS and our government customer at Langley Air Force Base, VA.

We offer competitive compensation and an extraordinary benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401K with company matching, flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, three weeks paid time off, and more.

The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developer designs, prototypes, and deploys automation solutions that directly support Air Combat Command's operational mission. Work embedded with ACC Headquarters staff and ISR Wings, identifying automation opportunities, building working prototypes in 2-4-week cycles, and transitioning validated solutions into daily operations with complete documentation that enables Government personnel to sustain them independently.

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.

Essential Job Functions:

RPA Prototyping & Development

• Conduct workflow discovery interviews with ACC personnel to identify automation opportunities

• Assess processes for automation potential using structured intake criteria (inputs, decision points, data sources, manual workload burden)

• Design and develop RPA solutions using UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate on enterprise-approved platforms

• Build functional prototypes within 2-4 week cycles that users can test in realistic mission contexts

• Maintain a personal development pipeline of 2-3 concurrent use cases to sustain quarterly output targets

Iterative Refinement & User Validation

• Conduct 2-3 iterative refinement cycles with operational users before transitioning solutions

• Incorporate user feedback to improve bot accuracy, reliability, and usability

• Test bots across appropriate classification levels (NIPRNet, SIPRNet, AFSCI as assigned)

• Validate solutions against real operational data and edge cases identified by users

Solution Transition & Sustainment

• Deliver complete technical documentation including architecture diagrams, configuration details, and data flow specifications

• Create tailored user training packages and operational SOPs for each transitioned workflow

• Develop Government sustainment plans enabling ACC personnel to maintain and enhance solutions independently

• Provide all source code, configuration files, and integration specifications to the Government

• Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with Government personnel who will sustain the solution

Cross-Wing Scaling & Collaboration

• Document lessons learned and adaptation guidance for solutions that may benefit other ACC wings

• Collaborate with AI/RPA Solutions Architects to identify cross-wing scaling opportunities

• Contribute to the enterprise solution catalog organized by mission function

• Support mobile training teams during wing visits to demonstrate transitioned RPA capabilities
