Why Work Here?
People join Arkatechture for different reasons. Some are drawn to the technology. Some prefer the flexibility of a remote-first company. Some want to work for an independently owned, high-growth organization. Most stay because of the people.
We're a company that genuinely enjoys working together. Our consultants, engineers, project managers and sales team collaborate every day to solve difficult problems for our clients. There isn't a "throw it over the wall" mentality here. Everyone has a seat at the table, and good ideas can come from anywhere.
As we've grown, we've worked hard to keep that culture intact. We hire people who are curious, humble, dependable and willing to help each other succeed. If you're looking for internal politics or layers of bureaucracy, you won't find much of either.
We offer a competitive benefits package that includes:
- A flexible remote work policy with optional access to our Portland, Maine office
- A 4-day workweek after 3 years of service
- Generous paid time off, including 11 holidays
- Medical, disability, life insurance, and optional dental/vision
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match
- Training & certification reimbursement
- Milestone recognition programs, annual PTO increases, and more
All employees share our core values: put the team first, practice humility, take pride in everything we do, stay curious, care for our community & environment, take work seriously; ourselves not so much.
