Responsibilities

• Build full-stack web applications that solve real workflow problems for civil engineers, ranging from focused utilities to firm-wide platforms.
• Develop interactive visualizations that render CAD geometry, BIM models, geospatial scenes, and engineering data in the browser for review, analysis, and decision-making.
• Develop reliable backend services and modern, responsive front ends, integrating with CAD, engineering platforms, document stores, and structured and unstructured data.
• Partner with engineers and domain experts to identify high-impact opportunities, prototype solutions, refine with feedback, and productionize for firm-wide adoption.
• Maintain engineering-grade quality through testing, version control, CI/CD, and supportable releases as platforms and underlying tools evolve.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional post-grad software development experience building applications used by others.
• Full-stack development experience with strong C#/.NET/TypeScript on the backend and a modern front-end framework (React, Blazor, Angular, or equivalent).

• Experience with Azure Cosmos DB, including data modeling and querying for application backends.
• Hands-on experience building interactive 3D or visualization-heavy applications using Three.js, Babylon.js, WebGL, or equivalent web rendering technologies.
• Experience working with spatial, geometric, or geospatial data such as CAD geometry, BIM models, point clouds, or GIS/mapping data.
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or equivalent) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner directly with practicing engineers, translating ambiguous needs into shipped software.

Preferred Experience

• With AEC platform SDKs such as Autodesk Platform Services (Forge), Bentley iModel.js, or IFC.js.
• Experience with applied AI development, including multi-agent workflows, RAG systems, or platforms like Azure AI Foundry and Azure AI Search.
• Python proficiency, particularly for ML, data, or AI workflows.
• Machine learning background, including model evaluation, fine-tuning, or applied ML beyond prompt-based systems.
• Experience with data lakes, lakehouses, or modern data platforms (Azure Data Lake, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or similar).
• Background in civil engineering or familiarity with AEC workflows (CAD/BIM, GIS, plan production, site/roadway/drainage design).
