Army Futures Command

The US Army is looking for a few good coders to power the new Army Software Factory in Austin, Texas starting in January 2022. This immersive, in-person software development program open to all grades and occupational specialties of Soldiers and DA Civilians. This 36-month program is focused on arming Soldiers and Civilians with modern software skills to solve real Army problems using software built by Soldiers, for Soldiers.

AFWERX is expanding technology, talent, and transition partnerships for rapid and affordable commercial and military capability.Organizationally, AFWERX has three efforts: AFVentures, Spark, and Prime.

Servicemembers are part of a digitally-native generation, yet do not have access to the data systems and software needed to work in a modern era. Many unit processes are manual, with data input, retrieval, and export done via copy/paste, Word, Excel, or .pdf files. The result: DoD loses rapid flexibility or decision latitude that could have been used to gain the decisive edge in a battle while our people lose their work-life balance.

Sofware Facories in the DOD

There are many SW factories across the DOD including USAF, USMC, US Army and USN. These are full time SW Factories producing real products in real-time in support of DOD initiatives from the warfighter all the way back to Generating Forces.
