This Scrum team built and supports a product that sends out a couple of million pieces of communication annually (JSP, .NET, SQL). Qualifications for this role include someone who came up through application development and has five years of leadership experience (exp w/ hiring, mentoring, reviews, terminations, etc.). Need to be comfortable within a scrum environment, and able to oversee solution design and implementation. Experience working with business decision-makers to make sure the product aligns with the business needs/goals. Direct team(s) and projects providing leadership including keeping abreast of deployments, testing, business sign-offs, and guidance when it comes to troubleshooting production defects to find resolutions.

Base comp is approximately 135K (maybe a smidge more for someone perfect) a bonus and a lucrative retirement contribution with a quick vest. Annually these three equal approximately 169K.

Do you love working on data modernization? Would you like to be involved early enough that your input will make a difference?  If so we may have the opportunity for you!   We are working on TWO new full-time direct-hire opportunities for Data Engineers with 5 to 10 years total experience with the bulk of that experience being focused on modern data design/development.  These roles will bring skills to the table to help our client with their data modernization. Those skills include a great data background including ETL, design, development, testing, data optimization, and data security.  Experience with data pipelines in a cloud-based infrastructure.  Our client is going with Azure, but they are open to other cloud experiences.  These positions will be integral to managing scalable data pipelines, ensuring secure data storage, and optimizing data workflows for efficiency and performance.  We also need someone with Confluent-hosted Kafka experience. Our client is looking for candidates who are not only technically skilled but also demonstrate independent thinking, collaboration, adaptability, and a passion for learning in a dynamic environment. This is an excellent opportunity to play a significant role in the data-driven future of a leading organization.   They have excellent benefits, a great work culture, and a competitive salary (which varies based on where you live).  In my experience, we can't compete with West coast salaries, so central or east coast is preferred.   This is a full-time direct hire position only. You must be a US citizen or have a green card.   Our client is open to fully remote if you check all of the boxes!  If you live in the Des Moines metro area you will need to come into the office at least two days per week. For more information please email me at bob@executiveresources.com or send me a message on LinkedIn.

New full-time, direct hire role! Hybrid, western burbs, working three days in the office, and two days remotely. NO C2C.  Our client is unable to consider anyone requiring any sponsorship now or in the future. We are working with a local client to help them find a senior technical go-to person. This role will be similar to an architect, with a wide variety of responsibilities (it's not a sweatshop). Once acclimated this senior engineer will be tasked with understanding their technical ecosystem.  This will include integrations, creating proof of concepts, future road map planning, and problem-solving. The team is responsible for financial systems that are a mix of Microsoft technologies, some Java as well as packaged solutions (some cloud-based). The engineer will be part of the leadership team, serving as the Director's highest-level technical person.  You'll enjoy technical strategy, road mapping, and finding ways to utilize current tech functionality.  Good communication skills and an ability to professionally explain technical jargon are a must to meet with the business when there needs to be a complex tech conversation. From a strategic position - figuring out guardrails and then handing plans over to developers, as well as coaching/mentoring. As far as hands-on there will be minimal day-to-day coding (if they need all hands on deck, you could spend 20% of your time coding).  When they run into something tricky, this person will be the one spearheading how to figure it out. The first few months will be spent learning about their technical environment.  Getting acclimated with the team, and the different applications, meeting with key players on the team as well as infrastructure and security. The hiring manager isn't a micro-manager, they'll be there for whatever you need, but they are looking for someone comfortable being autonomous.  They are immature in their cloud presence. Some of their vendor's applications are cloud-based so this engineer will need to know enough to learn how their on-prem applications integrate with their packaged solutions. You can go on the cloud journey with them. We aren't hung up on specific industry experience BUT an understanding of complex systems IS A MUST HAVE - experience working with multiple systems - not single-threaded. Someone who has the experience to put together how one system talks to another, as well as the role that security and infrastructure play.   How their on-prem integrates with their cloud solutions, etc. If you are ten-plus years out of college having spent your career moving up the ranks of coding, working in complex technical environments, and would like to have your own little technical kingdom, this could be a great opportunity for you!  Along with great benefits AND work/life balance, our client offers a competitive salary for this role between 140 to 155K (w2).

We have a new full-time - DIRECT-hire opportunity. No C2C, OPT, or Contract W-2. We are looking for someone anywhere IN Iowa who wants to be fully remote for a greenfield development opportunity! We need someone who LOVES coding with experience as a .Net Web Application Developer for our start-up client! The tech stack will be ASP.NET, MVC 5, C#, Javascript, JSS, HTML, and SQL. The person who will enjoy this role prefers front-end work, which is the primary focus, but is open to some full-stack. They do daily standups (all of their people are remote) which is a nice mix of work/team building. It's a smaller company so the benefits aren't where our larger employers are but some of that could be made up with compensation. Looking for someone 5 to 8 years out of school - up to 120K per year (potentially more for the right person or to make up for benefits) all to work from the comfort of your home. They are also open to someone who lives here, but enjoys travel and is willing/able to work from where the wind takes them on their adventures. They do meet in person as a company once or twice a year - the last meeting was in Vegas, so they try to pick fun locations. If you live somewhere remote in Iowa - this could be a great fit for you! One of the C-Level leaders is from Iowa and he knows that we have great people here, so they want that for their company! For additional details please message me at bob@executiveresources.com

Our client in the western burbs of Des Moines has a need for a full-time direct hire well-rounded IT administrator to support their customers who rely on them for network and systems administration. We are looking for someone who's been the admin for a medium-sized environment (I'd define this as a school district, medical practice, good-sized law firm, small manufacturer, etc.) where you have been the go-to person, but you'd love more variety! Our client provides the experts to support technical environments for small to medium businesses.  In this role, you'll have clients where you will be their trusted advisor.  You will provide technical consultation for these clients to ensure reliability on network equipment, creating documentation to analyze and support their environments. This support may be performed remotely (from our client's office) or in person. Customer requests are a mix of support including setting up/implementing software/hardware maintenance, and/or updates to firmware, drivers, and operating systems. You need a well-rounded background supporting PC's, Windows/Exchange Servers, Storage, LAN/WAN/firewall and backups. The person who will enjoy this role will be a good communicator who enjoys problem-solving.  When problems escalate you'll use these skills to keep all the appropriate people (internal and external) in the loop! Our client will start the process with a phone interview so that you can ask questions to see if it's a fit for you!  Even though you act as a consultant to their clients, this is a dedicated full-time salaried role complete with benefits.  The comp range depends on your experience - a couple of years will be 60K and more experience up to 100K.

If you are a full stack developer with Java and JSP (with Spring framework as a nice to have) and open to looking at something new that's HYBRID, I have a GREAT client where IT developers still build software here in the Des Moines metro. This isn't entry-level, we need someone with a few years of experience. Initially, you'd work in the office three days per week but once acclimated then you can go in for two. They have flexible starting hours and are a family-friendly environment. The nice thing about this company is that they have a small company feel with big company benefits, which include a 401K match and an additional contribution totaling 9%, as well as an annual cash bonus. They are flexible on starting comp depending on your experience and your enthusiasm for development. They like people who sincerely enjoy coding. Smart, down-to-earth individuals fit their culture. Our client has a full staff, so you don't need to worry about working extra hours - they have one, maybe two openings. They also have some great senior staff to help acclimate new people to their internal products and also provide mentoring. The following is important: 1) You need to live within a commutable distance of Des Moines, Iowa. 2) NO C2C - the role is full-time direct hire - not a contracting gig. 3) No sponsorship is available.
