Job Description

We are Skyward.

That is a love for people for improvement for human advancement through information technology. We are a people-centered business with a desire to serve others. We are diverse and unified; creative and collaborative; a collection of complementary not competing talents. And though on the surface we remain relaxed beneath a torrent of energy links us to our civic tech mission.

We stand by our values and we wont compromise on any of them.

Integrity: Were conscientious intentional and empathetic. Our words and actions align. Thats our character. Please dont ask us to play another part were poor actors.
Compassionate: If we may borrow a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care. Because our team is thoughtful and supportive caring deeply for each other our clients and our work this comes naturally.
Inquisitive: We remain students by failing openly and turning lessons into solutions.
Unconventional: For us life isnt what happens outside of work. Work happens inside of life and our culture erases the line often dividing the two.
Authentic: Made possible only because we embody the values listed above. Were relaxed and fun yet intensely curious and driven. Team members are placed with thought care and precision to ensure that Trust Truth and Transparency continue to represent our brand.
