Responsibilities

You will be responsible for ensuring that our systems are up-to-date and maintaining a maintenance schedule that keeps them that way.  You will be expected to meet basic professional standards including setting expectations & meeting deadlines, producing high-quality and testable deliverables, providing visibility into the status of your work, and being able to take projects from start to finish with minimal oversight.

This is a freelance position which will be paid at a competitive hourly rate.  We are expecting responsibilities to take under 30 hours a week.  Work will be ongoing, rather than on a fixed contract basis.  Ideally, you'd be local to Colorado (bonus if you are in Denver or Boulder), but we are also open to other candidates located elsewhere in the United States.
