Careers

"When I tell people that I work at home developing software for Art & Logic, they usually say something like "Wow! What a great gig!" And it is, but there are challenges to working at home. Folks typically think that it would be hard to get any work done. But for me, the bigger challenge is making sure work doesn't overtake my "home" life. Sometimes it's a delicate balancing act.

Art & Logic has been very supportive through several long-distance moves, and some major and difficult life changes. I used to complain to people that I had to go out and make my own social context; that it really didn't come for free like in so many work environments. But then I realized what blessings I've received from stepping out in this way that I have nothing to complain about! And if there's any imbalance in my life, it's up to me to fix it, and Art & Logic continues to support whatever changes I need to make."
John Boynton, Senior Engineer

"When I first started working for Art & Logic, I had my share of reservations, after just coming from my own business with all the employees under one roof. That was now almost 5 years ago and I haven't looked back. It really is the perfect job - smart and decent people running the company, some of the most talented co-workers on the planet, always challenging and interesting work, and the flexibility of working at home."
Jeff Schindler, Engineer

"Sometimes I forget what I like best about Art & Logic: thinking about the top-notch geek camaraderie, the personalized work environment and so forth. And then I remember: it's the projects I work on. Nowhere else have I found such a variety of interesting and challenging assignments, and opportunities to grow as a developer. And it's for a reason. People don't approach Art & Logic to churn out routine apps; they come because they have something hard, often requiring research and skilled implementation. There is no better place than Art & Logic for software developers to do what they love -- and also better hone their craft."
Andrew Vogan, Engineer

"I have been at Art & Logic a long time -- ten years -- and can sometimes forget how great working here is. When I hear about others' job experiences, I'm reminded what a unique place Art & Logic is to work. At Art & Logic I have enjoyed fun work, flexible work hours, keeping a job through four moves including one to a foreign country, being treated fairly and honestly by management, working at home, taking a year off to travel, great coworkers... I could easily go on for pages. Art & Logic has been my ideal job for the last ten years and I'm looking forward to the next ten."
Ed Wahl, Senior Engineer

"Art & Logic, more than being comprised of just talented or intelligent people, is an organization of trusted people. Our distributed workplace demands that the company's hiring process do its best to make sure that this is true. As a developer you are responsible for producing good code, taking needed actions to maintain client relationships, and conveying the appropriate and clear information to those who need it. But this isn't a group of renegade, cowboy coders sent off to succeed or fail on a project entirely on their own. Just as you must be trusted to handle your responsibilities, the entirety of the company's diverse, talented and knowledgeable pool can be trusted just as much, and they are all there for you when needed."
Jason Bagley, Senior Engineer

"Having spent the first 15 years of my professional career working in corporate America I can't say enough about how refreshing my 10 years have been at Art & Logic. The culture at Art & Logic is based on the premise that not only are our developers great programmers but they are also great people with great ideas that should be heard. Whether we're discussing development tools or gardening tips, no one is ever discouraged from speaking their mind. That's not to say it's a free for all. In fact, Art & Logic has very strict development practices. But that's what makes working at Art & Logic so interesting. It's a virtual melting pot of disparate ideas and philosophies. The result is a cooperative environment where programmers can grow as individuals and as a team can tackle otherwise insurmountable challenges. As a member of the Sales team at Art & Logic, I enjoy watching how our developers respond to these challenges."
Bob Bajoras, Sales Manager

"Don't expect to come to Art & Logic and rest inside of your comfort zone. One of the best things about working here is this: Art & Logic spends a lot of time recruiting a type of person, not a skill set. If you're here, you are, by default, intelligent, ferociously talented, and curious, and some part of you secretly believes you can do just about anything someone might throw at you. You will be asked to do things you haven't done before, challenged to do those things, invited to do those things. For me, the trust and respect engendered in these requests is affirming in a very profound way."
Kendall Wyman, Senior Sales Consultant

"Art & Logic, oh how I love thee! Not only am I designing interfaces and working with absolutely brilliant people on the coolest and most cutting edge projects, but I'm also able to follow my dreams. As a touring singer/songwriter, it's important that I have the ability to work from anywhere. A&L's virtual office truly keeps us all connected and organized, in a far more productive way than being stuffed in a cubicle from 9-5. The world is my canvas, and Art & Logic is my paintbrush. I couldn't imagine a more soul satisfying company to work for."
Daisey Traynahm, Graphic Artist

"Art & Logic is a great company to work for. We're not required to relocate, but instead work from the location of our choice. In fact, we're encouraged to work the way that we find most productive, including location, schedule, and in many cases tools. We even have the opportunity of providing input on how the company will develop in the future.

This culture attracts the best engineers available, and together we are constantly increasing our skill-sets. Art & Logic teams routinely work on challenging projects for which other companies cannot find appropriate talent. Our engineers have exceptional research skills and enjoy tackling difficult tasks. We thrive on continually expanding our knowledge while working on very interesting projects."
Mike Stone, Lead Engineer

"Art & Logic gives me the chance to work with the most talented engineers I've ever known, on the most interesting projects I could imagine. We are extensively involved in the audio and media industries, and my job allows me to build relationships with clients from these companies, design and write code for their new products, and expand our business into new areas. I spend most of my time either communicating with people I like and respect, or learning new things. I'm not sure what Art & Logic will be working on ten years from now, but whatever it is, I am confident that we'll be doing it because it excites us!"
Andrew Sherbrooke, Lead Engineer

"A&L is healthiest, sanest workplace I've ever been part of. The folks who work here are brilliant, knowledgeable, and remarkably free of the insecurity and backstabbing that mars most work environments. It's really a top-down influence: the people who run Art & Logic are honest, good people who want (and have) a strong business, but not at the expense of their employees' sanity.

If you want a job where your co-workers are as cool as the technologies you're working with, this is the place."
John Opferkuch, Engineer

"If I were to sit down and design the ideal company to work at, I would end up with what we've already got at Art & Logic -- we hire the smartest, most talented people we can find and let them work on monumentally interesting projects for world-class clients in a supportive Dilbert-free environment. Being able to do all this without needing to leave the house is gravy.

I love the fact that constant learning isn't an option -- it's a requirement; not only learning about new programming techniques or technologies, but about each client's industry and special needs. There's no chance to settle into a rut."
Brett Porter, Chief Engineer, Development Practices

"Art & Logic is more than a company; it's a community. It's a community of passionate, dedicated, exceptional software and design professionals. I find it tremendously rewarding to spend each day with such smart, creative, and fun people. It's an honor to lead them."
Paul Hershenson, President

"A&L is populated with people who are not only great developers, but interesting people. These folks have breadth. They are musicians, artists, folklorists, anthropologists, theatrical types, and more. It makes for interesting interactions around the virtual water cooler!"
Greg James, Lead Engineer

"Although it's every bit as unique working for a distributed company as it was when I first began, the reason I am still here is because of how much better A&L does the things that all companies need to do. At over three years now, my tenure here is now the longest it's been in any job. It's not that I haven't gotten offers, some of them quite nice. I have stayed because I can't imagine another job in which I would be treated so well. Not only do I have the privilege of working with people who always appreciate the work I do and listen to what I say, but I also am blessed in working for people who have bent over backwards for me when problems unrelated to work have intruded in my life.

The work is still challenging, still an opportunity to distinguish myself. But why I am really here? Because A&L is the most human company I could imagine."
Angel Gulermovich, Senior Engineer
