Skookum Digital Works is growing like gangbusters. We’re working on really interesting interactive projects that transcend bounds between mobile apps, software applications, websites, or social media initiatives. We rarely do anything twice, we expect you to tinker; we expect you to be the best.
You’re not here to fill a vacant cog in our wheel; you’ll be here to amend and improve the skills of our collective team. In short, this job doesn’t exist without you.
Our office is in a rad Uptown spot in Charlotte. Our perks are generous (three weeks vacation, health, eye, and dentist), and we like to kick it together on the reg (monthly outings, catered Friday lunches).
