On-Site Full Stack Software Developer

---

Job description

This candidate will work on-site at the company's headquarters in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Relocations welcome.

APS is a challenging and rewarding environment where developers can expect to work hard, collaborate regularly and to have creative input. Your resume will be supercharged after spending some time working with our software industry veterans and the rest of our dynamic staff.

APS is a short-stack, midsize business with a start-up development culture. What you won't get is a thick training manual. What you will get is significant visibility into the company's operations with both technical collaborators and business leaders happy to answer your questions. You cannot add quality and value to a process you do not understand, and we get that.

Things always change, that is to say it is not a guarantee, but currently APS' development team does not work considerable overtime and there is no on-call requirement.

We offer competitive pay and benefits. Applicants must be able to pass pre-employment drug screening.
