We like to say that Nortal is a right-sized company – big enough to undertake and impact influential projects yet small enough to care. At Nortal, your voice is heard, and everyone’s input matters. You solve critical problems for interesting customers from different domains. You work with experienced colleagues in a warm environment. You can execute your ideas in a reasonable time frame. And what you do and learn here are universally relevant and valuable. Last, but not least, Nortal is an agile company with low hierarchy – meaning heavy on common sense, light on rules, and substance is more important than titles! One more thing… This position can be both office-based and remote.
