About the role

We help clients build intelligent, efficient, and modern software systems. While we occasionally use AI tools where they make sense, we focus on delivering real business value through engineering excellence.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable, production-grade software systems — backend APIs, platforms, integrations, services
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical solutions
  • Rapidly prototype ideas, validate concepts, and iterate quickly
  • Use modern development tools (including AI assistants like Copilot or Claude) to improve productivity — when it makes sense
  • Own technical architecture decisions and help shape engineering direction
  • Write clean, well-tested code, and lead by example in code reviews and design
  • Mentor teammates and contribute to a strong engineering culture
  • Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Proven ability to lead the design and implementation of complex systems
  • You’re still hands-on — comfortable writing, reviewing, and debugging code regularly
  • Solid knowledge of backend technologies (Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, etc.)
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, etc.)
  • Experience working in agile, cross-functional environments
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and working on fast-moving projects
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Consulting mindset — solutions-focused, adaptable, and client-oriented

Bonus points for experience

  • Hands-on with AI dev tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.)
  • Rapid prototyping tools (Replit, v0.dev, Bolt, etc.)
  • Prior consulting, pre-sales engineering, or client-facing experience
  • Designing and scaling distributed systems, real-time or event-driven architectures
  • Working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Building and consuming RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other service architectures
  • Infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, Pulumi) or DevOps tooling
  • Building CI/CD pipelines and automating development workflows
  • Test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Selenium)
  • Open-source contributions or participation in engineering communities

Benefits and Other Fun Stuff

  • Competitive Salary
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Best-in-class health/vision/dental benefits
  • Generous 401K options
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Opportunity to be a key player at a highly reputable, fast-growing consulting firm
  • Diverse project opportunities
