What you’ll be working on
Our client was born out of a desire to help innovators and disruptors harness the full power of custom software development. They’re always searching for people who care passionately about their craft, embrace the humility of consulting, and consider themselves evangelists for software best practices.
They’re dedicated to growth through discipline, collaboration, and mentorship. The goal is to find progressive ways to build software as small teams of passionate craftspeople. They help our clients—from brand new start-ups to enterprise-level organizations—implement their own diverse culture and software development mastery.
Here’s who our client is looking for:
