Description

The Engineered Innovation Group is looking for motivated, self-directed software engineers interested in growing their careers not only as hands-on software engineers but also as a leader and mentor.

If you love to work on various projects, apply your current expertise to problems, and acquire new skills, languages, and technologies, this is the job for you.

We are interested in candidates who are able to effectively use their mentorship skills to guide junior staff in all best practices of software development.

EIG is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, with an office on Monument Circle, but we are a remote-first workforce. We believe people should be able to live and work wherever they choose.

Our Core Values (And we take them seriously)

Trust

We build trusted relationships with our employees, contractors, customers, vendors, and partners. Trust encompasses delivering projects on time, delivering quality work, and ensuring the privacy and protection of our customers' proprietary information.

Insatiable Curiosity

We are incredibly curious all around, whether it is people, technologies, or academics. Our curiosity fuels our ability to discover possibilities and make them a reality.

Abundance

We believe that the world is full of opportunities, and even failures are opportunities. Our job is to identify the opportunities and leverage them to make a positive impact.

Diversity

Not only does science reveal that the crux of creativity is in having a team of diverse backgrounds and voices, but it is also the right thing to do.

Measured Creativity

Contrary to popular belief, creativity is not free form. Creativity is served by free-form thinking and techniques, but we believe creativity is as much science as an art.
