The Team

We’re a tight-knit bunch of software craftspeople with a passion for solving hard problems for the greater good.  We’re involved in every step of the product development process with deep ownership from first ideas through to delivery.  We’re seasoned Agile veterans who know the best teams pick from the many individual practices and tools instead of prescriptions.  We’re unafraid of new technology and happily evaluate each on its merits to the organization and our team. That said, we prefer simple solutions and tried-and-true technology over immature bleeding edge tech.  

We believe data is a key asset to any modern technology organization.  We also recognize it is a challenge to source, prepare, and visualize information so that it is both easy to consume and correct.  We have done much of the early leg work here and now need a seasoned analyst to help us leverage our data to its fullest extent.

We believe that diversity of background and experience is key and work hard to build teams that reflect this.
