(Client) is a small, high-caliber team of consultants and software developers. We are a flexible, results-oriented organization full of smart, energetic, self-motivated people driven to achieve excellence. We are ruthless in our pursuit of client satisfaction.  Our culture is open, fun, and tolerant, and we value an appreciation of life outside work.

(Client) is located in fabulous Austin, Texas and serves clients nationwide.1. Job Description

(Client) is seeking an experienced .NET Developer for our solution development practice.  The developer is an important role at (Client), because our positive reputation and success is largely due to our industry-leading technical capability and quality solutions. Over the years, we have built up significant expertise across a broad range of technologies, but our .NET competency is not very mature. We are looking for someone with significant .NET experience who can form the core of our growing .NET team. So although we value raw talent and a high level of potential more than specific experience, we are keenly interested in finding someone with broad exposure to the .NET Framework and experience implementing a variety of .NET solutions.

Our developers tend to begin their career at (Client) by working on a variety of projects following the initial deployment stage.  This sometimes means fixing bugs but also means building features and additional functions not originally conceived or budgeted.  This is a good environment in which to learn because the developer gets to work with a variety of existing staff members on short, well defined deliverables across a variety of technologies and business solutions.  After a period of time, the developer will move onto one of our solution development or client consulting projects.

Our projects are typically staffed with two to four people and last from two to six months. They require a high degree of self-motivation and a focus on delivering client satisfaction. Although a great technical solution is one of the best ways to satisfy a client, we believe that timeliness, responsiveness, and expectation management are just as important.

We don't often create products from scratch - we integrate best of breed off-the-shelf products with the client's legacy environment in a way that solves their business problem. The ability to quickly learn diverse new technologies is a must. That said, since we specialize in web applications, we usually deal with leading-edge technologies.

We are looking for that incredibly rare intersection of outstanding people skills, top technical expertise, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. At (Client), we run a lean shop with as little overhead as possible, so candidates must be very self-directed and know when to ask for help.
