We also welcome applicants who aren't sure if they meet all of the qualifications of this job posting. Very few things are absolutely inflexible if someone fits in every other way, and even if they are, we've often hired folks who didn't get hired the previous time around.

Why You Should Consider Applying

Over the past 8 years, we have been slowly building what we believe to be one of the best small software companies anywhere. We measure this not just by our ability to deliver first-rate software for our clients, but by our ability to nurture and sustain an environment where people can thrive, both personally and professionally. This is easy to say, and a lot harder to do.

Here are some of the ways that we’ve designed our company to support the ongoing development of our people:
  • We don’t work overtime. Put in a good day’s work and go back to the rest of your life.
  • We work time-and-materials. We’re selling our effort, not a list of deliverables agreed on by salespeople.
  • We don’t work when we’re not well. Your physical and mental well-being are and equally important parts of being a healthy person and worker.
  • We set aside Fridays for professional development, open source contribution, and internal efforts.
  • We foster interests outside of the day-to-day work we do and we share our knowledge with our colleagues at monthly lunch-and-learns.
  • We aim to avoid unaddressed conflict. Say what you mean, respectfully, and expect the same from your colleagues.
  • We are personal-life-friendly. Shape your work day around your personal or family life, not the other way around.
  • We hire outstanding people. Each and every person who works with us is a good, thoughtful, and conscientious individual. This fact makes us extremely proud, and it also makes coming to work a pleasure rather than a chore.
  • And more! Please feel free to ask us questions about these or any other benefits in the interview!

Benefits
  • We're 100% remote
  • Competitive salary, $70k-85k depending on experience and other factors
  • Health/Dental/Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with generous employer match
  • 3 weeks paid time off and paid holidays
  • Support for professional development (conference attendance, support for speaking at local meet-ups, etc.)
  • Wellness stipend
  • Profit sharing
  • Student loan support
