Software Solutions Engineer

Do you enjoy figuring out how work gets done, identifying where processes can be improved, and using technology to make those improvements real? Are you a technically strong developer who can understand business needs and independently turn them into practical solutions?

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. You will serve as a primary technical resource for internal automation initiatives. Success in this role requires the ability to work independently, make sound technical and business decisions, and recognize when specialized outside expertise is needed.

• 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

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