Job description

Aviture provides custom software solutions for clients, acting as a business partner and technical advisor – sharing and contributing to our client’s vision. We provide full lifecycle software services from concept, implementation and first delivery on to continued maintenance, analysis, and continued adaption to user needs and market forces.

At Aviture we treat our employees as people, not resources. We value their personal & professional growth believing that stronger and healthier individuals are good for both our employees and our clients.

Using our principle of ‘cross pollination’ – we actively share problems & solutions between our project teams and provide ample opportunities for employees to advance to different teams at opportune moments to grow and mentor. The exposure to multiple industries and aspects of technology presents an ideal environment in which you can continue to master your trade skills, as well as be exposed to many developing technologies & interesting problem spaces.

Additionally, we encourage the inter-communication and mingling of our employees – to include company sponsored vacations, quarterly ‘cast away’ weeks where we co-locate our employees to further collaborate, and many social functions and internal interest groups.

We are headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with remote employees across the nation.

What is Aviture’s Art of the Possible?

Along with our mission-driven team’s deep expertise in a wide range of development languages, we employ a disciplined agile approach to define goals upfront, keep organizational value at the forefront, and set the pace for rapid, iterative innovation that transforms organizations. We call this the Art of the Possible.

The solutions we’ve created have:

• Saved lives in the California wildfires and southern U.S. flooding
• Provided security for the 2020 Presidential Inauguration, Super Bowl, and post-attack Boston Marathon
• Enabled augmented-reality training environments for surgeons
• Increased transparency and promoted patient wellness in hospitals and senior care facilities
• Combined computer vision and robotics to automate dangerous manual labor tasks
• And much more!
