Careers at Nuway

Nuway Software is not a place to just work - it is a place to foster one's career with a positive impact on other like-minded people. We don't have any clock punchers.

Wealth of Experience

At Nuway Software we are interested in the best and brightest. As a custom software provider we work intimately with our clients to design a solution that meets their specific needs. In order to provide valuable advice on what and how to automate, the person must draw from a wealth of experience. Being a senior person with many years in the field, it is possible to give immediate feedback on client's ideas. This helps set proper client expectations, ensures we don't over-promise and under-deliver, and helps expedite the inception phase of the project.

Only Experts

Many software companies follow the "1 expert, many helpers" model. There is a handful of really bright developers, and many junior helpers that implement the solution. Several problems arise with this scenario:

• The fee the client is charged is based on the expert, yet back at the shop the juniors are the ones actually doing the work, with some direction. Only the most sophisticated of clients will be able to tell this is happening.
• There isn't enough time allocated to the expert to properly direct the juniors in specific implementation. The time necessary to convey the expert's ideas is equivalent to doing it personally. This is where the model clearly breaks down, as the helpers really aren't helping at all. Either the expert must do everything, or the standard for quality must be lowered.
• In a expert/junior model, there are no sparks of creativity caused through friction since the juniors must implement whatever the expert directs. Iron sharpens Iron. Leaving the software architecture unchallenged is ultimately a disservice to the client. Most people's first idea isn't their best one. A team of peers that challenge one another produce superior quality work.

Apprenticeship

There are no junior developer positions at Nuway Software. However, a humble junior software developer can be turned into a expert through concentrated mentoring by the right guide. This is an investment on Nuway's part that takes approximately 2-3 years to complete (this is much quicker than it takes to develop these skills on one's own).

Principles of Apprenticeship:

• An apprentice is the responsibility of one mentor to oversee his/her development
• A mentor has only one apprentice at a time
• Clients are never billed for an apprentice's time
• An apprentice does not have his/her own work load, they work solely with their mentor

The purpose of the apprenticeship program is to foster an environment of continual education, and build the resources for Nuway's future growth.

Requirements for any Position

• Fantastic personality with proven communication skills.  You will interact closely with our clients
• Thorough experience with C# .NET.  Our solutions are built only in C#.
• Must believe in the principles and corporate values of Nuway Software.  If you are looking for just another job, look elsewhere.
• Enjoy reading and learning about technology.  There are required readings every quarter.  Yes, really.
• Humility to accept criticism from peers on your ideas and designs
