Director of Engineering

Join our development and equity building powerhouse at Teknika!

Are you the extraordinary talent we’re searching for?

Teknika is a hybrid of software development company and mini-VC firm. This gives us the profit engine of software development while our equity positions give us the excitement and growth potential of a product company - only more diversified!

On the software development front, we are developing our own framework of highly modular, reusable, and easy to customize code assets which allow us to efficiently execute software solutions built to each client's unique requirements. We excel at executing on highly scale-able web, mobile, and hardware projects that range from simple apps to enterprise grade business management solutions with a focus on building simple and intuitive user interfaces and designs while enforcing a standard set of best practices shared among all our projects and engineers.

We have venture capital in our DNA due to our co-founder, Steve Millaway, who is famous for his company that developed the USB 2.0 chip as well as his VC firm, TechFarms Capital. His expertise allows us to take strong equity positions in select clients to build a portfolio of assets that grow long term value in the company and sticky customers. We do this while remaining profitable in our own right.

Our culture is simple. Work is satisfying when working with high merit team members that work towards excellence in a low ego environment. We reduce chaos as much as possible to allow people to get into flow and work without interruption. Meetings are scheduled in advance and our communication is organized. We want every team member to be both improving the company's work, while, at the same time, improving their own lives in the spirit of win-win.

With about 25 talented people on staff, we are small enough to operate in an efficient and agile manner, but are growing fast enough that there will be ample opportunity for career growth and advancement as the company scales.

If you have the technical background and vision to lead our exciting software initatives, you have found a place where you can excel and be rewarded for your abilities.
