Software Developer - Applied AI

Kimley-Horn • Dallas, TX

7d • Onsite

About The Position

Kimley-Horn’s Technology and Innovation team builds internal software that helps civil engineers deliver projects faster, more consistently, and with higher quality. Our work spans full-stack web applications, system integrations, and AI-powered features, ranging from focused utilities that streamline daily workflows to deeper platforms that bring multi-agent and retrieval-augmented systems into engineering practice. In this role, you will build full-stack applications across that spectrum. Some are conventional web applications with discrete AI integrations; others are built around retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent orchestration, or similar applied AI architectures. You will work directly with practicing engineers to understand real problems, ship solutions end-to-end, and refine them based on adoption.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional post-grad software development experience building applications used by others.
• Full-stack development experience with strong C#/.NET/TypeScript on the backend and a modern front-end framework (React, Blazor, Angular, or equivalent).
• Strong SQL and/or NoSQL skills with sound data modeling instincts.
• Experience with Azure Cosmos DB, including data modeling and querying for application backends.
• Hands-on experience designing and shipping AI multi-agent workflows.
• Practical experience building production RAG systems with Azure AI Search, including chunking, embedding, retrieval, and grounding strategies.
• Experience with Azure AI Foundry for building, deploying, and operating AI applications.
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or equivalent) to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner directly with practicing engineers, translating ambiguous needs into shipped software.

Nice To Haves

• Background in civil engineering or familiarity with AEC workflows (CAD/BIM, plan production, site/roadway/drainage design).

Responsibilities

• Build full-stack web applications that solve real workflow problems for civil engineers, ranging from focused utilities to firm-wide platforms.
• Integrate AI capabilities where they create value, including multi-agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and intelligent assistants on top of engineering data.
• Develop reliable backend services and modern, responsive front ends, integrating with CAD, engineering platforms, document stores, and structured and unstructured data.
• Partner with engineers and domain experts to identify high-impact opportunities, prototype solutions, refine with feedback, and productionize for firm-wide adoption.
• Maintain engineering-grade quality through testing, version control, CI/CD, and supportable releases as platforms and underlying models evolve.

Benefits

• Exceptional Retirement Plan: 2-to-1 company match on up to 4% of eligible compensation (salary + bonus) and additional profit-sharing contribution.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Low-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
• Time Off: Personal leave, flexible scheduling, floating holidays, and half-day Fridays.
• Financial Wellness: Student loan matching in our 401(k), and performance-based bonuses.
• Professional Development: Tuition reimbursement and extensive internal training programs.
• Family-Friendly Benefits: New Parent Leave, family building benefits, and childcare resources.
