We believe deeply in what we do: to build something lasting, sustainable and positive.
You will be responsible for the success of a growing group of software developers on several Scrum teams. Your background as a software developer and as someone who has been a part of large scale application development initiatives will earn you credibility with direct reports as you assist in clearing technical impediments that are escalated by Scrum Masters and create opportunities to give critical feedback. Using your interpersonal skills to build relationships with talented software developers is also a key part of the role as you represent the company at technical events, job fairs, and candidate interviews, and ensure their successful start as a member of a Scrum team.
Come be part of an amazing team and see what it’s like to brag about your team and where you work.
What we do here
At Power, our technology team builds a custom suite of products that run our entire business. We create and deploy complete solutions for marketing, sales, operations, finance and more. We even have a custom communications platform that connects everyone in the company. We use cutting edge technologies like augmented reality, computer vision, machine learning, speech recognition and processing, geospatial data and a variety of mobile platforms.
We enjoy all the benefits of a startup to move fast, ship rapidly and iterate quickly, but within an established organization that is well-funded and profitable. We get to dip our toes in many different, fascinating areas and solve unique, challenging problems that could on their own be standalone apps or companies. We’re a tech powerhouse hidden inside a remodeling company.
We value diversity of all types at Power and our team is made up of a kind, thoughtful group of people with a wide range of backgrounds. We actively try to find people with different perspectives and experiences to the ones we already have.
