Physical, Mental and Availability Demands

Because we’re in software, we spend a lot of time in front of our computers, of course!  Because of this, you should be prepared to remain in a stationary position during most working hours.  This also means there is a basic expectation that you’ll be able to make effective use of a computer. We do value work/life balance, but to cut down on interference of other work, occasionally there may be expectations of availability on evenings and weekends. As business travel returns, there may be an occasional need to travel and meet directly with our clients or partners.
