SynapseSynapse is hiring creative software engineers who have a
passion for innovative products and technology, and want to develop
products in a fun, fast-paced, and highly collaborative team
environment. Synapsters embrace the opportunity to work on a large
variety of challenging projects, find joy in solving hard problems
with strong teams, and understand the value of cross-discipline
collaboration to provide stellar client service.
Synapse engineers collaborate directly with clients as well as each

coding. We have the tenacity to see a product through from concept
to mass production. Synapse engineers are always learning-and
teaching: the opportunity to be a listener and a leader exists for
engineers at every level. We are willing to understand the client's
objectives as well as its organizational environment, while
delighting in exceeding the customer's expectations. Synapse
engineers approach each other with the eagerness to learn, a sense
of humor, friendly attitude, and mutual respect that makes working
at Synapse as enjoyable as it is rewarding.
Synapse aims to foster a creative work atmosphere with openness and
trust, where engineers can work hard, learn and grow
professionally, and maintain meaningful lives. Diversity of our
ideas and experiences (technical and personal) enriches our teams,
enabling us to push innovation further.
