What We Do
Our passion is helping people lead independent lives through exceptional, participant-directed programs. Our industry leading portfolio of software and financial services provides companies the ability to give their clients the freedom to choose the support they need whether it’s residential services, day programs, managed care, or community services. The time and attendance software we deliver helps thousands of participants get the care they choose while maintaining compliance with federal standards.
The Team
We have a small staff of 100% remote engineers (ranging from Florida’s beaches, to the base of volcanoes in Maui) that write our software, fix bugs, and deploy code. We’re a Microsoft shop, so most of our code is .NET and it all runs in Azure. Not familiar with the latest that Azure offers? Don’t worry, we’ll catch you up.
Like most software shops, we have a bunch of smart people that you’ll work with. What makes us different from other shops? It’s the support we give each other. Everyday our developers share their expertise, help teammates with roadblocks, and encourage each other.
We trust our developers to use their hard-won skills to solve problems, and we believe that great ideas can come from anyone and anywhere.
We follow an agile process, but we’re not handcuffed by it. If a product team’s needs aren’t met by the process, we adapt the process until the code flows smoothly.
