Syncro is a small team crafting applications helping small business be more successful.

Our software does job tracking, marketing, invoicing, integrates tons of online tools -- and is awesome.

We are open to taking risks with technology, we use ember/react/kubernetes in production, and are generally open to exciting fun new stuff!

We're building a company that has fun inventing. We go fast, and our customers love us. Thousands of repair shops and IT Professionals all over the world rely on our platform for their entire business operations.

We are different - we really do care, the founders are writing this ad and looking at the resumes - not a recruiter or HR department.

We are using heroku with 50+ dynos, our platform consists of a number of rails apps and integrations to other platforms.

We hook into Google Cloud Print, we're building a huge inventory system to rival any out there, we've built a "remote machine management" platform with an open API, we're doing it all...

If this sounds like the kind of team you want to be part of, we want to hear from you.

Do you play around with new stuff for fun?
Have any cool side projects to test out a new technology?
Do you hear about a problem and just obsessed building a web app to solve it?

HOW TO GET HIRED BY US:

Write us about a recent time or two that you caused a production outage, what the root cause was, and what you learned from it.

For example;Troy our Founder shipped a typo in a class name a bit ago and those are annoying because they might be easily missed in Development environment but then production blows up. This led to a more robust CI+Staging step than we had prior.
