Job description

Lead. Innovate. Grow. Make An Impact.

UDig is seeking an Associate Engineering Consultant who is curious, hungry to grow, and ready to build real solutions for real clients from day one. This is an entry-level role designed for early-career engineers — recent graduates and those with up to two years of experience — who want to launch their careers at the intersection of technology and consulting. UDig will invest in you through mentorship, structured growth paths, and hands‑on client exposure, and we expect you to lean in.

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:

• Contribute to project teams delivering full‑stack applications and data‑integrated solutions for enterprise clients.
• Write clean, testable code across backend and frontend layers under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Participate in agile ceremonies — standups, backlog grooming, sprint planning, and demos — learning to operate in a structured delivery rhythm.
• Engage in code and design reviews, absorbing feedback and applying standards and best practices.
• Begin building client‑facing presence: communicating progress, asking good questions, and representing UDig professionally.
• Explore and experiment with AI‑assisted development tools as part of your daily workflow, with guidance from your team.
• Take ownership of your growth through UDig‑provided training, mentorship, and hands‑on project experience.

What You’ll Bring:

• 0–2 years of experience in software engineering, including internships, co‑ops, or personal/academic projects.
• A genuine curiosity about how technology creates business value — not just how it works under the hood.
• A coachable, growth‑oriented mindset; you seek feedback and act on it.
• A habit of thinking out loud — you ask clarifying questions before jumping in, break problems into parts, and communicate your reasoning as you work.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Java, C#, Python, TypeScript) and a willingness to grow across the stack.
• Foundational understanding of web application development — backend APIs and/or frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue).
• Exposure to or curiosity about cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), databases, and DevOps concepts.
• Comfort working across data and software contexts — understanding that modern engineering spans both.
• Genuine interest in AI tools and an eagerness to develop fluency in AI‑assisted workflows; prior experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience.
