Company Overview
We’re listeners. And learners. And partners.
At Liberty Fox Technologies, we provide software solutions and recommendations that improve our client’s business every day. We do that in a variety of ways, using a variety of software tools. We specialize in Microsoft.net but we’re fluent in most major platforms and methodologies.
Some clients hand out a book of instructions that tell a software developer exactly what to do. And that’s fine, if that’s the way they like to work. What makes us shine though is our ability to help them write the book (establish clear goals for their software project), publish it (produce it in a way that makes sense technically, but is based on a deep understanding of client needs and workflow), and then make sure it doesn’t sit on a shelf gathering dust (we want clients for life and that means designing software that adapts to a business as it changes over time).
The bottom line is that the technology solution always fits a customer’s needs, not just our preferred way of working.
Employee Value Proposition
We are one team, joining forces as employees, partners, and clients.
It’s critical to continuously improve, innovate, strive for excellence, and learn from your mistakes.
Always be kind, showing empathy and treating others with dignity.
Promote trust, be dependable, and transparent in everything you do.
And always question your assumptions, seek clarification, and confirm an equal understanding.
Location
Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is preferred, but remote work is also an option.
