• A culture built on collaboration, respect, and continuous improvement
• Freedom to work autonomously while being supported by a strong, experienced team
• Opportunities to grow into leadership, architecture, or specialized industry roles
• A peoplefirst environment where personality, integrity, and teamwork matter as much as skill

What you will need:

• 6 years of experience developing and implementing business software technology solutions is required - 8 years is preferred
• overall experience must also including 3 years of supervisory or project management experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field required (combination of education, experience, and training may be considered a degree equivalent)
