Software Engineer

STV's is seeking a Software Engineer to join our Digital Advisory Products group. You'll work directly with client teams to translate complex problems into well-designed, production-ready software—from initial concept through deployment and iteration. This role sits at the intersection of consulting and engineering: you'll spend as much time understanding the problem as you do writing the code.

We're a small, senior team that ships quickly, takes ownership end-to-end, and treats AI-assisted development as a core part of how we work—not a novelty.

What You'll Do

Design and build modern web applications (frontend, backend, and integrations) for client engagements

Partner with project leads, designers, and client stakeholders to scope features and define technical approach

Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) fluently as part of your daily workflow

Integrate LLMs, RAG pipelines, and other AI capabilities into client-facing products where they create real value

Translate ambiguous client requirements into clear technical plans and ship working software against them

Present work, tradeoffs, and recommendations to non-technical client audiences

Contribute to internal tooling, code reviews, and shared engineering practices

What we're Looking For

Required:

3+ years building and shipping production web applications

Strong proficiency with a modern stack—React/TypeScript on the frontend and at least one server-side language (Node, Go, Python, or C#/.NET)

Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools in real work—you can speak specifically to where they accelerate you, where they don't, and how you direct and review their output

Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to clients and writing documentation that holds up

Experience working in client-facing, consulting, or product-services environments—or a clear interest in moving into one

Working knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure or GCP preferred)

Nice to Have

Experience integrating LLMs, vector databases, or vision models into production applications

Background in infrastructure, transportation, AEC, or adjacent industries STV serves

Comfort working across the stack and picking up unfamiliar technologies quickly

Side projects, open-source contributions, or writing that demonstrates curiosity and craft

How You'll Work

Small team, short feedback loops, real ownership over what you ship

Iterate directly with clients—your work goes in front of users, not into a backlog

Bring a point of view; we expect engineers to push back, propose alternatives, and shape the product

Compensation Range:

$95,975.90 - $109,686.74
