Staff Software Engineer

• Zealous about exceptional client service and internal collaboration.
• Agile and execution-focused , with a bias toward action and impact.
• Growth-oriented and committed to professional development.
• Feedback-heavy and mentoring-rich , with a culture of continuous improvement.
• Eager to solve complex, ambiguous problems with creativity and rigor.
• Hardworking and passionate about building the future of technology-enabled consulting.

• 8 - 12 years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent consulting, working directly with domain experts or business practitioners rather than within a pure product engineering organization.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct structured requirements gathering and workflow analysis with non-technical stakeholders — producing precise technical specifications without requiring an intermediary.
• Desire to learn to design and implement agentic AI systems, including multi-step agent orchestration, tool use, and Human-in-the-Loop workflow design.
• Understanding of LLMs in a production context: prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and content vectorization using embedding models (e.g., Amazon Titan, Knowledge Base, PGVector, Elasticsearch, or equivalent).
• Strong proficiency in backend service development. Python familiarity is a plus but not required. Expertise in at least one of these languages: Python, Java, Kotlin, Groovy.
• Hands-on experience with AWS Lambda as a primary compute pattern, along with DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, and IAM. Familiarity with Amazon Bedrock or equivalent managed LLM infrastructure is preferred.
• Working knowledge of N8N, UI Path or comparable workflow automation tooling; willingness to become the internal subject-matter expert in N8N or selected workflow platform is expected.
• Working knowledge of React is sufficient to build consultant-facing HITL review and approval interfaces.
• Comfort operating in an environment where the problem definition evolves as domain understanding deepens — judgment and communication matter as much as execution speed. MBA or Finance degree helpful but not required.
• Background check required.
