WLG; Norfolk (VA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

WLG is seeking a hands-on software prototyping professional to digitally transform workflow processes in Norfolk, VA. You will build proofs of concept, prototypes and pilots, collaborating with process owners and users to capture current and desired workflows and to iterate quickly.

Applicants should have a university degree or equivalent experience, 12+ months of hands-on development in the last 24 months, 2+ years in low-code/no-code outside the Microsoft stack, and fluency in professional

Qualifications

• University degree in computer science, information systems, software engineering, human-centred design, business process management or related field, or equivalent experience.
• At least twelve months in the last twenty-four spent doing that development yourself.
• At least two of the last five years in low-code, no-code or configurable application development outside the Microsoft stack, with at least two user-facing solutions built.
• Hands-on development across at least two distinct rapid-development platforms.
• Fluent professional English.
• Note: directing/supervising/architecting roles do not meet this requirement — hands-on build is required.

Responsibilities

• Rapid hands-on development of digital workflow prototypes and pilots on approved platforms.
• Work directly with process owners and operational users to understand current workflows.
• Document current and desired workflows in detail to show roles, states, decisions, and exchanges.
• Turn operational needs into minimum viable prototypes that can be built, demonstrated, and iterated quickly.
• Design and configure data capture, roles, states, rules, validation, routing, approvals, and status tracking.
• Integrate prototypes with approved data sources via interfaces, databases, or file exchanges.
• Write lightweight scripts or components when tooling alone is insufficient.
• Use AI-assisted development tools where they speed prototyping.
• Run user testing and pilots and improve based on observed results.
• Measure impact against baselines like cycle time and data completeness.

Job description

Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa. A multinational defence organisation wants its capability development work digitised, and wants it proven by working software rather than by studies. This role builds proofs of concept, prototypes and operational pilots, and iterates them with the people who use them.

What You Would Be Doing

• Rapid hands-on development of digital workflow prototypes and pilots on approved platforms.


• Working directly with process owners and operational users to understand how the work flows today.


• Documenting the current and desired workflow in enough detail to see roles, states, decision points and exchanges.


• Turning operational needs into a minimum viable prototype that can be built, demonstrated and iterated quickly.


• Designing and configuring structured data capture, roles, states, business rules, validation, routing, approvals, notifications and status tracking.


• Integrating prototypes with approved data sources through interfaces, databases, web services or structured file exchange.


• Writing lightweight scripts or components when configurable tooling alone will not prove the idea.


• Using approved AI-assisted development tooling where it genuinely speeds up prototyping.


• Running user testing and pilots, then improving on what you observe rather than what you assumed.


• Measuring the effect against a baseline: cycle time, manual effort, data completeness.


• Naming the security, data management, licensing, hosting and sustainment constraints early.

What you would bring

• A university degree in computer science, information systems, software engineering, human-centred design, business process management or a related field, or equivalent experience.


• Recent hands-on delivery of digital applications, workflows or prototypes that you built personally.


• At least twelve months inside the last twenty-four spent doing that development yourself.


• At least two of the last five years in low-code, no-code or configurable application development outside the Microsoft stack, with at least two solutions you built yourself and at least one with real users.


• Hands-on development across at least two distinct rapid-development platforms.


• Fluent professional English.


• Note: experience limited to directing, supervising, advising, architecting or owning the product does not meet this requirement — the client asks for hands-on build.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
