Solutions Developer
Build Solutions That Make a Real Impact
This role is ideal for a developer who enjoys more than simply writing code. You'll have the opportunity to work across full-stack application development, systems integration, automation, data architecture, and AI-enabled solutions while collaborating with teams across the firm and supporting innovative solutions for our clients.
If you enjoy solving problems, exploring emerging technologies, and taking solutions from concept through deployment, this could be a great opportunity to make an impact.
What You'll Do
As a Solutions Developer, you will:
- Design, build, test, deploy, and support secure, scalable software applications for internal teams and external clients.
- Develop modern frontend and backend solutions using current frameworks, programming languages, APIs, and reusable components.
- Design and maintain relational databases, data models, queries, and application data-access solutions.
- Integrate enterprise systems, GIS platforms, cloud services, databases, and third-party applications through APIs, webhooks, and other integration methods.
- Build automation workflows and data pipelines that reduce manual processes, improve data quality, and increase operational efficiency.
- Develop and integrate AI-enabled solutions, including LLM services, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and intelligent document processing when appropriate.
- Collaborate with stakeholders and technical teams to understand business needs, define requirements, evaluate options, prototype ideas, and develop effective technical solutions.
- Own assigned solutions throughout the full software development life cycle, from architecture and development through testing, deployment, documentation, support, and continuous improvement.
- Use Git-based version control, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD practices to improve software quality and deployment reliability.
- Apply secure development practices involving authentication, authorization, secrets management, dependency management, logging, monitoring, and performance optimization.
- Research emerging technologies and contribute to development standards and best practices.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Work collaboratively within an Agile development environment.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of professional experience in software development, solutions development, application development, systems integration, or a related technology discipline.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Demonstrated full-stack development experience using modern technologies such as:
- TypeScript/JavaScript
- Angular or React
- Node.js
- .NET
- Python
- Or comparable technologies
- Experience working with relational databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL, including data modeling, SQL development, and application data access.
- Experience developing and consuming REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.
- Familiarity with cloud-based or hybrid application environments.
- Working knowledge of Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, application deployment, and modern DevOps practices.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, planning, and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Ability and enthusiasm to quickly learn new technologies.
Even Better If You Have
- Experience with containerized applications or development environments.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development and AI-enabled application technologies.
- Experience working with LLM APIs, RAG, vector search, or intelligent document processing.
- Experience integrating GIS or other enterprise platforms.
- A track record of identifying opportunities where technology and automation can improve business processes.
