Careers
Our employees are our competitive advantage. With high-performance long-standing teams—not contractors assembled for the first time—we move quickly from problem to solution.
We Hire for Fit
Our people are hired not just for their experience but for how well they’ll fit in. We hire the person first over their skills and qualifications, and provide opportunities to learn and grow. We feel it is important to understand what makes people happy, and that everyone is different. Some are motivated by what projects they’re working on, for others it may be salary, benefits, or flexibility. We aim to be in tune with everyone’s needs and make sure we’re never giving our valued team members a reason to walk away.

What Makes MERAK Different?
Because our services rely on our employees’ skills in technology, lifelong learning is highly valued. The more skills our employees have, the more we can provide. Some people hope to learn a skill or technology and apply it for their entire career, but we’re in an industry where that’s just not possible, so continued education is a priority for us. Our employees identify what job-related learning opportunities are of interest, and we pay the full amount for their education on the subject. This is a high-level organizational goal.
We compete in the same resource pool as all the big tech organizations, but we believe a great career should not come at the expense of family life. Some large tech firms are going to have indoor slides, ping pong tables, and free meals to entice employees to stay longer and work harder. We value a great work-life balance and want to go home at night, so we’re offering an alternative model where you are trusted with control over your environment and approach to work.
