**About Apptegy**
Since our start in 2015, we've gone from a group of individuals to a community pushing toward the same goal of building a fantastic company with great people, great products, and, most importantly, a great culture.
Apptegy is building products to empower school leaders to run better schools.
We are growing quickly and are focused on bringing thoughtful, high-performers together to craft amazing products for our clients and to make Apptegy a better place than it already is.
**What we've built and are building**:
Apptegy works with thousands of schools and school districts across the United States. For the past 6 years, we've been working to make our technology a breath of fresh air. School leaders, superintendents and administrators have some of the most stressful and demanding jobs in the world. They are responsible for the safety, well being, and education of thousands of students. Every day they juggle the roles of politician, disciplinarian, visionary, and accountant.
That's why we focus on simplicity. By making everything simple, we lower the technical barrier so that any administrator can lead with the most powerful tools available.
In short, we are enabling school leaders to brand, market, and strengthen their schools. Amazing events and happenings occur in schools every day and our technology allows that to be shared across web, mobile, social media, and alerts with a single, simple-to-use tool.

**What is expected of engineers at Apptegy?**
**Self-driven & Always Learning**: At Apptegy, we believe that the right people are intrinsically motivated. Whether they are starting out on their career or well into their experience, they are still looking to improve and use their strengths to help others.
**An interest in Culture and Code**: We reject the stereotype that engineers want to be left alone to work. In our experience, engineers care deeply about culture, empathy, and enjoying the people they work with. Many of our best engineers were as curious about culture as anyone in HR would be.
**Speak up**:
***In some companies, engineers have to wait their turn to speak up. You need a minimum number of years of experience to have a voice at the table. Or if you're a senior engineer, you need to hold off until you've gained trust. At Apptegy, you have a voice from the start. Some of the best ideas have come from junior engineers that see things differently. We want the best ideas to win— no matter who it comes from.
