Centage provides a high energy, team-oriented workplace with the opportunity to be a significant contributor in an entrepreneurial environment.

We are looking for well-versed, independent, and flexible software engineers that are technically strong, energetic, highly collaborative, and passionate about building high quality customer-focused products.

We are very pragmatic and agile in our approach, and we do not hire based on buzzword technologies.

Important Note - We are currently operating in a fully remote capacity, and hence candidates must be comfortable working remotely for a period of time. The expectation is that we will return to a regular, flexible working arrangement in the future, and hence we would like to ensure that prospective candidates are able to come to the office in person at least once per week.
