We make our clients stronger.

Our reputation reflects our culture. We care deeply about designing and building beautiful digital projects that grow and strengthen our clients' businesses.

We're looking for another great mobile developer to join our team.

We are a tight-knit, talented group of engineers and designers building custom mobile software for smart clients.  We have an incredible attention to detail and very high standards—if you want to join our team, you'll need to demonstrate that you do too.

Your primary role will be development of mobile applications on the Android platform.  Bonus if you can rock Swift, C# or Ruby.  You have an innate, built-in, almost scary penchant for programming.  You communicate clearly.  You have a proven track-record of self-motivation.  You're active in the tech community.  You never tire of Chipotle.

We are looking for someone to join our team in Minneapolis.

For the right talent we offer high salaries, Aeron chairs, fancy gadgets, and other pleasantries.

If you would like to speak with me about this send any of the following: summary, resume, links to LinkedIn, GitHub, StackOverflow. Heck, I’ll take a good haiku:
