MAX Digital is looking for strong and innovative software engineers to join our agile team. We build complex and compelling web and mobile applications for the automotive industry (specifically for car dealers). We are rebuilding the car buying experience around the consumer, and we're seeing benefits for everyone involved. Join us and spend your days innovating and building products to make that a reality. We're looking for curious, collaborative people who are eager to teach what they already know and who jump at an opportunity to dive into new territory.
Successful members of our team are internally driven to finish assignments, make noise when blocked, and are just as eager to learn new technologies as they are to jump in and solve a problem in legacy code, because to them it's all about the success of the team. Those who succeed on our team take risks to go after big rewards and are not afraid to try new things.
