WHAT DO WE DO

Skyward App Company, founded in 2011, is a bespoke software development company highly regarded for the caliber of our work, people and workplace culture. We create custom solutions for global clients, nonprofits and other technology firms. That might be a mobile app that uses Augmented Reality to show farm analytics data over a field of corn, a mini-wikipedia that allows a non-profit to spread the word of its deeds and cause, or a communication platform for equipment on a dairy farm, from pumps to PCs. And sometimes we take some time for ourselves and invent a new social card game.

We are an agile development studio that holds ourselves to a high standard. The plan may pivot at any time, but the quality of our design, development, documentation, code reviews, and testing is the hallmark of our team.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

We require an experienced Senior Full-Stack Developer to support on-going development projects in an agile environment. We are looking for candidates with a strong foundation of architectural skills who can start with a high level “Epic”, then design, develop, and lead the implementation of an end-to-end solution.

Responsibilities will include: 

• Work with the CTO, Product Owner, and clients to develop requirements.
• Work within an Agile environment to create user stories, track progress, and close out tickets. Own features and ensure their proper design and implementation.

• Monitor and support the entire SDLC from concept development through production.
• Support the development of appropriate documentation.
• Identify improvements to streamline and reduce errors in our development process.
• Communicate openly and clearly with peers, leadership and customers.

As we’re a small company, there’s an opportunity for you to get as involved as you want in any aspect of our business.
