We are not urgently hiring for this role, but are always eager to get to know promising Developer candidates. If you’re interested in being considered for this position, please submit an application.

Viget is an independent digital agency that has been branding, designing, and building digital products and platforms since 1999.  Our culture is ideal for lifelong learners seeking a variety of meaningful work, supportive collaboration with positive teammates, and a healthy work/life balance.  We work from four sweet offices (hybrid) and remote locations throughout the U.S., and utilize a proven cadence of virtual and in-person meetings and retreats to build comradery and stay connected. We love our team.

We solve interesting problems with code. Ruby and React mostly, but also Python, Elixir, and more.  Our JavaScript developers don’t work in isolation -- they work alongside industry-leading product and project managers, interface and product designers, and front-end and back-end developers to create compelling products and platforms.  At this time, we're hoping to hire a mid-level developer with a few years experience building client-side web applications in a professional setting. 

Our teams also collaborate directly with clients that offer great variety -- from major brands like ESPN and Dick’s Sporting Goods to world-changing nonprofits like WWF and WCS to emerging startups and tech leaders like Google.  Viget == variety.
