Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M) is seeking a Business Process Automation Developer to identify, design, implement, and support technology solutions that improve internal business processes across the organization. This is a technically focused, high-ownership role that also requires strong business judgment, process understanding, and project ownership. You will work directly with teams across R/M to understand their workflows, identify opportunities for improvement, streamline inefficient processes, and determine how technology can best support the business.

• Determine whether problems are best addressed through process changes, existing software, configuration, automation, systems integration, AI, custom development, or outside expertise
• Develop and support internal applications, scripts, integrations, and workflow automations
• Integrate business systems using APIs, databases, cloud services, automation platforms, and other technologies
• Take ownership of initiatives through discovery, design, implementation, testing, rollout, documentation, and support
• Manage project priorities, dependencies, risks, and communication with stakeholders
• Coordinate vendors, consultants, or contract developers when additional technical expertise or capacity is needed
• Help users adopt new processes and ensure implemented solutions are achieving the intended business results

Qualifications & Skills

• 3+ years of experience in software development, automation, systems integration, business systems, IT, or a related technical role
