Technical Consultant

NOTE: This role does not provide Sponsorship

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a leading enterprise software company to hire Technical Consultants who want to build complex software solutions while working directly with customers to solve meaningful business problems.

This is not a traditional software engineering role where you spend your entire day coding in isolation, and it is not a purely functional consulting position.

You’ll sit directly between technology and the customer, owning work across the full project lifecycle: understanding the business problem, translating requirements into a technical solution, developing and integrating the application, working with data, and ultimately helping customers successfully adopt what you’ve built.

For someone early in their technical career who wants exposure to software development consulting enterprise technology, this is an opportunity to build all three.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work directly with customers and technical teams to:

• Design & Build Solutions: Develop and deploy custom enterprise automation applications throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Solve Customer Problems: Work with business and technical stakeholders to understand complex processes and translate them into functional and technical requirements.
• Build Integrations: Connect enterprise systems through REST, SOAP, JDBC and other APIs/integration technologies.
• Work With Data: Design relational data models and write SQL queries, joins and views.
• Deliver in Agile Teams: Work within sprints, stand-ups, pair programming and other Agile development practices.
• Own the Outcome: Participate from initial requirements gathering through implementation, deployment and customer adoption.
• Enable Customers: Partner directly with customer teams, transfer knowledge and help users become increasingly self-sufficient.

What You Must Bring

We want to be very clear about the foundation required for this position.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Mathematics or a closely related technical field
• 1 years of hands-on software development or technical implementation consulting experience
• Demonstrated experience with Object-Oriented Programming
• Working knowledge of relational database design and SQL, including queries, joins and views
• Experience gathering requirements or working with stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions
• Strong communication skills and an interest in working directly with customers
• Willingness to travel up to 20%
• Ability to work on-site 4–5 days per week in McLean, Virginia

Experience That Will Set You Apart

Additional experience in any of the following is valuable:

• AWS, Google Cloud or other modern cloud environments
• REST/SOAP APIs and enterprise integrations
• AI or Machine Learning
• Analytics
• Automated testing
• Continuous integration
• Agile software development
• Technical consulting or customer-facing implementation
• Enterprise software or SaaS environments

Who Will Thrive Here

You’re technical, but you also like people.

You want to understand why something needs to be built before deciding how to build it. You're comfortable sitting with a customer, asking questions and challenging assumptions, then turning around and working with your team to actually create the solution.

You enjoy coding, data and technical problem-solving, but you don't want your career confined to one narrow piece of a technology stack.

You’re also comfortable with accountability and pace. Customers are depending on the solutions you build, which means quality, communication and follow-through matter.

This can be an especially compelling opportunity for an engineer who has discovered they enjoy solving the business problem as much as writing the code.

Compensation

Base Salary: $75,000–$175,000

Actual compensation will depend on experience, technical depth and qualifications. The position is also eligible for a discretionary performance bonus and a government clearance differential. Additional benefits are included as part of the total rewards package.
