Our team has a passion for Agile development and continuous improvement. We are diverse, lifelong learners and read omnivorously from NPR’s giveaway book shelf, regularly walk down the hall to Tiny Desk Concerts, tell coding jokes, optionally bring treats to share, have on-site happy hours and optionally present at conferences. Plus, we have a great work-life balance – seriously.
