This person recognizes the importance of organized and well-documented code. Above all, they have a determined spirit and a willingness to seek out the best solution. If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
You will work closely with not only the internal team at Adjacent but also with specialists and clients teams we collaborate with to plan and create solutions that serve our clients.
