Join our growing tech team
We are looking for passionate developers of at all levels of experience to join our growing tech team.
Working at Creative Mines means flexibility, teamwork, and creativity
Throughout his career, our founder Jake Northey has found the most fulfillment working with teams of developers solving challenging problems by building great products. He started Creative Mines to create opportunities for other developers to share that experience.
At Creative Mines, we hire passionate designers and developers with high standards and a knack for unique challenges. If you’re interested in working with a skilled software team, apply to one of our open positions or contact us for more information.
Our Core Values
While developers can be selective in the jobs that they choose, we, too, are selective in how we onboard new developers.
We choose team members based on their set of values, passion for mastering software craftsmanship, and willingness to share that experience with others.
Learning and Teaching Others
Learning is more than simply learning what you need to do your job. It means teaching others what you have learned and reflecting on how you have applied your knowledge to achieve your goals.
Developers at Creative Mines have a passion for learning and teaching others the craft of software development.
Diversity = Magical Creative Power
Diversity includes different backgrounds, varying skill sets, and the ability to communicate diverse thoughts. Those who have experienced these values firsthand tend to be in awe of the magical creative power of diverse teams.
Diversity pairs naturally with the value of learning. Having differing backgrounds increases the opportunity for team members to teach and learn from each other.
Teamwork Builds Strong Teams
Teamwork is aligning a group of people to a common goal. Modern work is a collaborative effort and being effective means building strong teams. Strong teams are multi-disciplined and diverse.
Strong teams include not only those building the product but everybody that interacts with it. Strong teams resolve conflicts by first seeking understanding.
Craftsmanship is Seeking Excellence
Craftsmanship is seeking excellence in every aspect of building a software product. Effective learners become excellent artisans that master their craft through practice and refinement. Software is more art than science, and good artists learn by doing.
Seeking improvements and simplicity comes from asking questions and looking at things from new perspectives. Product craftsmanship comes from diverse teams with complementary skill sets. Well-crafted products stand out and stand the test of time.
