Are you ready to find a job that is exciting as you are? At Geneca, development is only half of what we do. We're looking for people who are passionate, not only about the work they do, but also the people they work with.

Geneca embraces the culture that comes with the software development industry. Our employees are some of Chicago's most creative and forward-thinking. Seriously, we have the awards to back that up. Many people have been heard frequently saying that Geneca is "the Google of the Western suburbs".

We're not selling knives, we're developing software and that takes creativity. The kind of creativity we both know you can't wait to be a part of. We're doing it and you could be too.

We're looking for men and women who are seeking a challenging career and who thrive on the rewards that come with it. A sense of humor and the good sense to know when to get serious will help, too. Yes, you'll need great experience in .NET and the technologies that accompany it. Or perhaps Java is your bag and you've spent years perfecting your technique. In either case - talent is talent - and that is what we're looking for! Above all else, we need people that understand team dynamics and thrive in the environment.

So what are you waiting for? If your Razor is (C) sharp, if your controller is in the model view, or if your CSS kicks A.$.$., we want to talk to you!
