I am Hiring
In the last 6 months I have recently taken a position with a local software ISV in the Bothell area. We recently acquired some IP and I am now tasked with building a team to take over this IP and take it to the next level. To that end I now find myself with four job openings I am trying to find great candidates for.
You’re ready to make a big impact, and we’re ready for you. At AMS Services, we’re looking for a driven software engineer to be a charter member of a small, agile, and high-performing team, poised to introduce cutting edge technologies to a ripe industry.
AMS is committed to using the latest technologies and methodologies when developing our comprehensive enterprise business solutions for independent insurance agents and brokers. As a result, we’re forming a high-performing team to take the company’s new product, TransactNOW, to the next level. TransactNOW is a suite of solutions designed to facilitate real-time transactions between insurance carriers and agents across both new and existing technology platforms. Improving business efficiency through increased agent and carrier connectivity is one of the insurance industry’s best opportunities, and with you, AMS Services is prepared to lead that change.
As our team integrates this new product into the company and with our customers, we will drive the long term architectural vision for the company’s software products. Reporting through the Chief Architect, we will serve as an incubation group for new programming practices and will be seen as the flag bearers for new software development practices within the company. We will remain small, agile, and able to introduce exciting technological change into the industry.
AMS Services rewards top performance and skilled talent with a competitive compensation package including base salary, comprehensive medical benefits, 401(k), generous paid time off, cash-based performance rewards, educational assistance and, where appropriate, relocation benefits. We support and encourage a diverse workplace.
