Summer in Colorado is coming to an end, and though the temperatures may be dropping, tech hiring in the state is showing no signs of cooling off. With nearly $62 million in tech last month, Colorado tech companies are growing fast and looking for lots of fresh talent to join their ranks.

Here are five of the top companies hiring in the month of September.

Hiring tip: “Be inquisitive,” said Angie Lawn, senior development manager. “Even the most seasoned engineers seek to find new ways of doing old things and have a constant thirst for learning new technologies and practices. This helps keep you stay current in the industry and forward thinking in strategy and approach. By being curious you also promote an important skill for your team. A team that isn’t afraid to ask questions and learn — whether that is understanding team members, technology or processes — makes more informed decisions, strengthens their performance and promotes better working relationships.”
