FortiusOne may be difficult to say unless you've taken Latin, but we've got a great workplace and we're highly respected in our field.
We work for a fun company full of smart people, and we're looking for others with those same qualities to join us. We value free-thinking and initiative, so robots and drones need not apply.
The tools we build, such as GeoIQ and GeoCommons, are held up as examples of the way to do things by other companies, and are used all over the world. In addition, we've got great benefits, but the best reason to come work for us is that you want to work at a place where you make a difference, have fun with your co-workers, and have your intelligence and creativity respected and rewarded.
If you're interested, and want to join our team, introduce yourself and send us a link to other work you've been a part of. You can also send us a message on Twitter to @fortiusone.
And recruiting agencies and outsourcing companies will be promptly ignored. Thanks anyway!
