Salaries are competitive and benefits include health and dental. You’ll have a chance to work with a rapidly growing start-up in the very early stages. Excitement level is high, and coffee cups are full. We also enjoy kick-ass music while we work.

We’re looking for rockstar code ninjas to help us continue to build and improve iList. You’ll work on iList, as well as a slew of iList’s little helpers. You’ll need to be able to work in a team environment to rapidly make changes to existing features as well as build out new features.
