About Us: HyerTek is a Washington-based technology company, delivering innovative and customized solutions to federal government clients and commercial enterprises. Our expertise spans data analytics, cloud computing, collaboration, human-centered design, and training.
About Us (Really): Now that the official introduction is out of the way, let's get to the things you care about and want in an employer. We know the phrase "rapidly growing" is overused in the Small Business world, but with us, it's the truth. Founded in 2016, we've climbed our way from a one-man show to being a recognized, reputable name across multiple federal agencies.
What does that mean for you? You'll be joining a company that has the maturity to give you the resources for success, while being small enough that you are able to make significant contributions without having to climb corporate ladders. Furthermore, you'll be under the direction of a leadership team who actually practice what they preach and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. In other words, no Mystery CEO who is out of touch with the company and its people. You'll have support from the top and extra hands when you need them.
Total Rewards at HyerTek: We care about the wellbeing of our people, and we've curated a competitive benefits package including various medical, dental, and vision plan options based on you and your family's needs. We also offer a 401k plan with up to a 4% employer match. Optional offerings include short and long-term disability benefits, life insurance, and additional coverage options. Our workdays are generally very flexible to help employees take care of themselves (because doctor visits are always in the middle of the day, right?). We also provide 3 weeks of paid time-off plans and 10 paid holidays. Oh, and did we mention our incentive program for achieving professional and technical certifications?
