Never heard of us? Well, if you were a small or medium-sized business located in Puget Sound you likely would have as we provide IT Engineering services to a whole lot of folks in all sorts of industries and we ve been doing this since 1990. No hardware sales, no software sales, just solid engineering work with a fantastic Client service ethic. Seriously, we are over-the-top focused on doing great work for our clients, and if they ever feel that our work wasn t up to snuff then we don t bill them for it. It s as simple as that.

Also important to know is that unlike the more prominent and larger technology firms here in Seattle and Tacoma we have a strong commitment to work life balance. No crazy emails at 10:30 pm, and no crazy text messages at 10:35 pm asking why you haven t responded to the email that was just sent.

Our HR team is not working 100 hours a week to get to the bottom of any employee issues, rather they're working hard during normal business hours with all of us to keep this a great place to work. The org chart is called a sketch, our HR manual says DON T PANIC on the cover and the culture here is such that when folks land a job here they stay for a long long time and no, the doors aren t locked.

On top of all of that we pay well, offer comprehensive benefits and are nicely profitable. Ah, and we make a point of sharing the profits with everyone here that helped make those possible in the first place - in fact, we are a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP). You will contribute to those profits with your efforts and expectations aligned with the work life balance mentioned above. We provide a 401k with a company contribution, medical/dental/vision coverage, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, transit passes, flexible holidays as well as vacation and sick leave.
