Senior Consultant, Software Engineering

At UDig, Senior Consultants don’t just contribute to delivery - they drive it. You’ll lead engineering teams as a player-coach, shape technical solutions for complex client problems, and set the standard for how modern, AI-native delivery looks on an engagement. This is a role for engineers who want to lead without leaving the craft behind., * Lead engineering teams in a player-coach capacity - writing and reviewing code, making key technical decisions, and developing the consultants around you.

• Architect and deliver full-stack, cloud-native solutions across software and data domains, setting standards the team executes against.
• Champion AI-native delivery practices on your engagements: establishing AI-assisted workflows, setting quality thresholds for AI-generated output, and operating as the human above the loop on critical paths.
• Facilitate technical design sessions, architecture reviews, and client-facing whiteboarding to align stakeholders and drive decisions.
• Conduct rigorous code reviews that enforce engineering standards and serve as a genuine learning tool for junior team members.
• Drive agile delivery - backlog refinement, sprint planning, retrospectives, and demos - with an eye toward outcomes, not just process.
• Build trusted relationships with client technical leads and project sponsors, translating engineering tradeoffs into business language.
• Establish and maintain a shared definition of done across software, data, and design workstreams - running cross-functional ceremonies and driving structured tradeoff decisions using architecture docs, estimates, and delivery plans.
• Contribute reusable patterns, frameworks, and documentation that accelerate future UDig engagements.

• 6-9 years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated progression into technical leadership.
• Prior experience in a technology consulting environment is required - you know how to build relationships, manage expectations, and tailor solutions to clients.
• Fluency across the full engineering stack: backend APIs, frontend frameworks, cloud infrastructure, and data systems; comfortable across multiple languages and platforms.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Working knowledge of data engineering contexts - pipelines, warehousing, and how data-aware systems are built - sufficient to lead across both software and data workstreams.
• Demonstrated command of AI-native development: you actively orchestrate AI tools to accelerate delivery, govern their output with appropriate quality gates, and coach others on effective use. You understand the tradeoffs, not just the possibilities.
• Proven experience mentoring and elevating engineers, with the ability to give direct, constructive feedback.
• Strong communication skills - able to hold a technical conversation with engineers in the morning and a strategic conversation with client leadership in the afternoon.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.

• Career Growth - Own your path with UDig Elevate, offering a clear trajectory for career growth and leadership opportunities.
• Consulting with Purpose - Contribute to real solutions that directly impact clients from your first day.
• Flexibility & Balance - Hybrid work environment with opportunities for high-caliber in-person collaboration.
• Investment in You - $1,500 annual training budget, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
• Competitive Compensation - Strong salary, performance-based bonuses, and career progression.
• Comprehensive Benefits - PTO, parental leave, 401(k) match, health, dental, vision, and more.
