Who Will Be A Great Fit
We welcome your uniqueness. Research shows that diverse teams do the best work. Our customers are all over the world, and from all walks of life. It's important that we’re not all the same, so that we can draw on our differences, what we’ve experienced, and how we think.
You are:
- Passionate about the customer. You constantly find new ways to deliver value
- Detail oriented and results driven. You drive to the finish line and never settle for “okay”
- Autonomous and take initiative. You have a bias for action and good instincts for what needs to get done
- Constantly seeking improvement. You ask why when others don’t and are always looking for ways to improve (yourself, your team, your product, your process)
- Focused and determined. Ambiguity doesn’t scare you; you are constantly forging a path forward
- Open and inclusive. You know the best ideas won’t be yours alone and are constantly questioning what you overlooked
- Team focused and collaborative. You realize that you only succeed when the team, and the product, succeeds. You are always looking for ways to make those around you successful

The Fine Print
At Shrapnel we prefer working in-office, together. We believe working in the same space can accelerate progress, improve collaboration, and is definitely more fun. But in-office work doesn't make sense for everyone at this time, and technology makes certain remote work possible. So for certain roles we are open to discussing remote work. Please apply and we’ll decide case by case.
NEON Machine Inc and its subsidiaries are equal opportunity employers. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, mental or physical disability, and genetic information, marital status, citizenship status, military status, protected veteran status or any other category protected by law.

We’re following WA state’s health guidelines regarding COVID-19. We make every effort keep our office safe and our employees healthy. No one comes to work sick, not even a sniffle. Our office is big enough to stay 6-feet apart easily, but if you’re in a meeting where distance is not possible and you’re not vaccinated then we require a mask (vaccinated folks might want to wear one too, your choice). Hand sanitizer is always close by, and the nightly janitor crew sanitizes work surfaces for the next day. We believe in the benefits of vaccines, but don’t require it. For now, masks are required in the public areas of our building, whether vaccinated or not, but if you’re working alone in a room you don’t need to wear a mask.https://coronavirus.wa.gov/information-for/business/workplace-safety-guidance
