Bit Quill Technologies

You likely have never heard of Bit Quill Technologies. That is a good thing. Last month (September 2020), we found 2 more senior software engineers for Bit Quill Technologies. We need at least 9 more because of the continued demand for this company’s expertise. The company is currently at 40 people and growing. Other software engineers we placed rave about the culture and the work. If you want to just develop software, get rewarded well, and not have to put up with business BS, then you should apply. You will be working closely with either the clients’ product managers or senior engineers. The work is typically a core component of a major product release. If you want to continue working for a software company but don’t care for the politics or drama sometimes associated with a larger software company, Bit Quill offers a place where you will be happy working with like-minded people and be rewarded not just in competitive compensation but with an opportunity to be a fellow owner like the rest of the team.
