Position OverviewTAG is hiring Software Engineer to help design and deliver AI-powered enterprise applications across Kiewit's district portfolio. This role is ideal for a developer who has outgrown pure implementation and is ready to think at the systems level - shaping how applications are structured, how they integrate, and how AI can be leveraged to accelerate delivery. You'll work alongside senior architects while building your own architectural instincts through hands-on design and mentorship.
LocationThis role is based in Lenexa, KS.
ResponsibilitiesWhat You Will Build:You'll build features and district-specific delivery projects - from front-end experiences to backend APIs and the infrastructure that supports them. You'll work with modern frameworks and AI-approved development tools, and partner closely with designers, product owners, and other engineers to ship high-quality software that Kiewit teams rely on every day.
Key Responsibilities:- As a Solutions Engineer you will help design, build, and optimize AI-systems and solutions that advance our digital capabilities and create real value for districts
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and contribute to a growing shared codebase
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and sprint ceremonies
- Contribute to AI-assisted development workflows using AI-approved tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, and custom tooling

- Collaborate with product owners and designers to translate requirements into working software
- Support cross-functional work across PAVE, SPEQ, MUSE, and district delivery projects
- Help evolve engineering practices, tooling, and documentation as the team grows
What Makes This Role Unique:- You will work across multiple high-impact platforms; not siloed to one product
- Our team builds using AI-approved tools as part of our own development workflow (Claude Code, Figma MCP, automated spec-to-code pipelines)
- You'll help shape engineering practices for a fast-growing, greenfield team
- Direct access to architects, tech leads, and leadership - small team, big impact
Qualifications-Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
- 3-5 years of professional software development experience (or equivalent project work)
- Experience with at least one modern web framework (React, Angular, Vue) and one backend language (Python or C#/.NET)

- Experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines
- Comfort working with AI-approved development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) as part of a modern engineering workflow
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience with Azure services (Container Apps, API Management, Key Vault)
- Familiarity with AI/ML concepts: prompt engineering, LLM integration, or agent-based workflows
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep, Terraform) and GitHub Actions
- Exposure to AI agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Claude tool use, or custom agent pipelines)
- Background in construction technology, industrial systems, or related domains is a plus
Tech Stack:- Frontend: React + TypeScript (Vite), MSAL.js, TanStack Query
- Backend: Python (FastAPI) or .NET (ASP.NET Core 8+)
- Infrastructure: Azure Container Apps, Bicep, GitHub Actions
