At Flexion (an agile software company that's been delivering excellence for over 24 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain autonomous and self-organized by hiring people who can solve complex problems by functioning collaboratively-this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (business application software engineering, database engineering, DevSecOps, security engineering, coaching, etc.) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team's success, which mirrors the company's overall flat structure.

Why we want to hire you:
You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing (instead of viewing it as "rework") and never look at anything you deliver as "final." You understand when "good enough" really IS good enough, without ever compromising on the overall product quality. You understand that a focus on team health, communications and problem-solving are what creates a good working team. You love teaching and coaching others. You have read and have a strong alignment to our Flexion Fundamentals.
You have:
- Experience with and preference for working in healthy and productive agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, XP, Lean, etc.)

- Advanced knowledge and experience with .Net (C#) and React
- Experience building service-oriented APIs
- Experience building applications that integrate application logging, monitoring and alerting

What We Do
Flexion [flek-shen] is an agile software development and staffing company with nearly 25 years of experience delivering excellence to our clients. We leverage lean, agile principles to build iterative, high-quality software solutions that are innovative, user-friendly, and flexible. Our culture is built on autonomy, trust, collaboration, and transparency—we believe that successful delivery starts with hiring the right team and cultivating a strong people-first culture based on our Flexion Fundamentals.
We also maintain a flat organizational structure, which allows us to cultivate an entire company of strong, independent leaders. And we’re all guided by a passion for helping improve the world through developing more intuitive, accessible, and modern digital solutions for both the federal government and commercial sectors.
For us, agile is a mechanism for creating options at all scales. By giving our clients options, we open the door for innovation while minimizing the risk of failure. Agility is just the means to an end—we use agile methodologies to build trust with our clients and deliver MVPs, where the ultimate goal is to test with users, discover what's working, and pivot through iterations until we achieve a successful solution. Without options, you stifle what that next iteration can be.
We work with fully remote teams so we can hire the best people across the country. Our success hinges on the highly collaborative nature of our cross-functional teams, with daily pairing across design and development. Our human-centered design practices are fully integrated with our agile processes, allowing us to best serve end users by delivering a useful, usable, and engaging product.
