Bijal

Technical Project Manager

FOCUS MEETS FUN

Maintain a healthy work-life balance

Bijal said Vail Systems offers a challenging yet welcoming atmosphere cultivated by insightful, helpful individuals. When she isn’t busy refining her software and project management skills, she enjoys connecting with her colleagues through the company’s pickleball league, which is her favorite employee-led group. Given the company’s focus on work-life balance, Bijal said she has plenty of chances to reenergize herself by spending time with family and friends and volunteering through Chicagoland’s Project Management Institute, where she holds a leadership position.

My manager regularly checks in to see how I’m doing to make sure I’m not overworked or stressed.

Will Tangney

Software Engineer II

TACKLE ROBUST PROJECTS

A cutting-edge tech stack spurs progress

Will Tangney’s workdays involve collaborating with various teams, brainstorming with peers and tackling robust projects. Currently, he’s working on developing Hydra, the company’s multichannel conversational AI platform. “We’re presently working on our next major release, which will add many exciting features,” Tangney said. While he’s motivated by the Hydra project, he’s equally energized by a new tool utilized in the company’s tech stack: the GraalVM Native Image compiler. This technology improves application performance by optimizing resource utilization and hardens application security.

I enjoy having so many people to brainstorm with, as it enables everyone to further understand problems and identify potential issues ahead of time.

Technical Team Lead

SURROUNDED BY SUPPORT

Advance your career and empower others

Since joining Vail Systems as an intern, Akun Taniguchi has had many opportunities to showcase his talents and handle complex challenges. With support from his mentor, he was given the opportunity to transition into a full-time software engineering role, which eventually led to his current position as a technical team lead. Now, Taniguchi gets to stretch his leadership skills while working together with his peers on feature designs and more. “Teamwork is essential to achieving our goals and making a real impact, so this element of the culture really resonates with me,” he said.

It’s really important for me to feel like I’m part of a supportive and collaborative team, and our culture does exactly that.
