Job Summary

At IGS, we leverage Agile and Lean techniques, such as acceptance test-driven development, continuous integration, and story-based iterative development.

You will be embedded in a cross-functional team of analysts, developers, product managers, and testing staff, collectively striving to quickly deliver high-quality, high-value software.
