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

This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
