Engineering Jobs in Duquesne, PA

Many candidates spend months learning frameworks and finishing courses, only to freeze during technical screens, system questions, or behavioral rounds.
The result is painful: "almost hired” over and over again, while the confidence drops.
The truth is that interviewing is its own skill, and most bootcamps don't teach it deeply.
They teach how to code—but not how to think out loud, structure answers, debug in real time, defend trade-offs, and communicate like an engineer.
Since 2010, SynergisticIT has helped candidates land full-time roles with many major employers.
The best way to understand this: you can be smart and still fail interviews if you don't know what the interview is truly measuring.
Interviews rarely test "can you write code at home.” They test: Can you solve problems under constraints and time pressure? Can you communicate your approach clearly? Can you handle edge cases and complexity? Can you explain trade-offs and design choices? Can you show job-ready project depth, not just toy examples? SynergisticIT focuses on roles such as entry-level software programmers, Java full stack developers, Python/Java developers, Data Analysts, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and Machine Learning Engineers.
The focus areas include Java / Full Stack / DevOps and Data tracks like Data Engineering, Data Analytics/BI, ML/AI, because those are the roles employers continue to hire for.
If your pattern is "I reach interviews but don't clear them,” you likely need three upgrades: Stronger project narratives (what you built, why it matters, how it works) Stronger technical foundations (DSA, OOP, APIs, SQL, pipeline design) Mock interview reps (realistic simulation, feedback, improvement loops) Many jobseekers underestimate how much hiring is about clarity.
You don't need to be perfect—you need to show you can think, collaborate, and deliver.
That's why guided mock interviews and structured interview coaching can be a game-changer.

How OPT Students Can Land Tech Jobs – SynergisticIT Ideal candidates for this version include: Candidates who get interviews but repeatedly fall short Jobseekers stuck in "screen round limbo” Developers who panic during live coding Candidates who can build projects but struggle to explain them Professionals who haven't interviewed in years and feel rusty Career changers who fear "I'm behind CS grads” (often untrue with support) SynergisticIT provides support for candidates navigating STEM OPT extension, H1B filing, and Green Card processes (where applicable), which can matter when timing is critical.

Profitmind is building the intelligence behind how retailers make pricing and merchandising decisions. Today, many of these decisions are still driven by spreadsheets, rigid rules, and manual judgment, even at the largest brands.
Our platform turns complex data such as sales, inventory, and competitive signals into clear, explainable recommendations merchants can trust. Our platform focuses on impact, helping retailers improve margin, inventory health, and decision quality at scale.
Based in Pittsburgh, we’re a fast-growing startup with real customers. Profitmind is backed by a recent strategic investment from Accenture, and is scaling its agentic AI platform to power decision-making for some of the world’s largest retailers.
About the role:
Profitmind is looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help build and evolve the core product experience across both the frontend and backend. This role is frontend-heavy, but requires comfort working across the stack, including writing SQL queries and supporting backend data access in a JavaScript/TypeScript environment.
You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn complex data, workflows, and AI-driven functionality into experiences that feel simple, fast, and purposeful. This is a hands-on role for a mid-level engineer who can operate independently and work with the team to deliver features end-to-end.
What you’ll do:
- Build and maintain modern, responsive user interfaces across our web applications
- Develop and maintain reusable UI components within the core Profitmind product
- Work in a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript environment, supporting both frontend features and backend data needs
- Write and maintain SQL queries to support product functionality and analytics use cases
- Support front-end and back-end integration for AI-powered tools and workflows
- Build dashboards and agent-style interfaces that make complex outputs easy to understand
- Write automated tests for frontend and full-stack functionality as part of a high-quality development process
- Ensure strong performance, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility
- Iterate quickly based on user feedback and evolving product direction
What we’re looking for:
- 4–5 years of professional software development experience preferred
- Strong, hands-on experience building frontend applications using modern frameworks such as React, TypeScript, Next.js, or similar
- Comfort working across the stack in a JavaScript/TypeScript codebase
- Ability to write SQL queries independently and work with relational data on the backend
- Experience building data-driven user interfaces, dashboards, or analytics-heavy applications
- A pragmatic approach to automated testing and code quality
- High attention to detail and pride in delivering polished, usable software
- Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, product-driven environment
- Experience with enterprise, data-heavy, or analytics-focused products is a plus
What we offer:
- Competitive compensation and equity
- Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, etc.
- Unlimited and flexible PTO
This is a full-time position based in Pittsburgh, PA, though remote candidates will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Apply today to join a small, senior team working on problems that sit at the core of how global retailers operate.
