We Believe
Our clients deserve an experience that is reliable, understandable, and delivers results while maximizing investment. Developers deserve security, enrichment, and fulfillment—personally as well as professionally. Every day we're building towards a development process where everyone wins and we’re looking for like-minded developers and project leaders to join in our mission.
What We Do
We are primarily focused on writing high-quality software to solve our customer’s problems. We support the evolution of existing systems and applications through a variety of DevOps and Tooling Development, with a strong focus on improvement to legacy code bases. We’re consultants who communicate with our clients to manage their expectations and provide judgment and perspective so the end results are healthy, sustainable systems.
Some of our work is structured as independent greenfield projects where we lead the project management, development, feedback, and delivery cycle, working closely with the stakeholder. Other work focuses on high collaboration with client teams, providing them insight and guidance on how they can improve their own existing software systems and be happier for it in the long run.
Our Culture and Values
Our values are foundational to how we run our company. They permeate how we deliver to clients, how we show up for our teammates, and how we lead our business with compassion. They are:
- Kindness: We treat people with compassion and respect.
- Integrity: We do what we know is right, and when we don’t know we’ll tell you.
- Teamwork: We do our best work when we work together.
- Improvement: Continuous improvement applies to everything that we do and everything that we are.
People matter. That's the core of what we believe and who we are as a team. We’re focused on kindness and integrity to our colleagues, our customers, and our community. We work together as a team and learn with humility and enthusiasm to develop our craft as software developers. Together, we accomplish things that would be impossible alone. We invest in each other through pairing & mentorship both on and off the clock. Our accomplishments are recognized by each other, and when we make mistakes, we learn together.
We Take Equality Seriously
Hint is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is committed to equal opportunity employment without regard to race, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry, national origin, military or veteran status, marital status, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
What Else You’ll Do Besides Write Code
We’re a small shop, so we’re looking for teammates who are excited to build more than a codebase. We’ll help you to balance billable and non-billable work so that you can contribute to our culture while maintaining a sustainable pace. When you’re not developing software, you might participate in our recruiting efforts, engage with the tech community through writing blogs, attending meetups, conferences, and other events or you might have a knack for account management and technical sales support. Continuous improvement is a value of ours so you’ll definitely have a chance to teach and mentor others. Together we can build a great business and a great culture. We’re excited to meet you.
