Lead. Innovate. Grow. Make an Impact.

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.

Why Top Consultants Choose UDig

  • 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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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.

What You’ll Bring

  • 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.
