What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a full-time programmer to join our core team in Boston and lead or support development on multiple projects.

Love your work. At Dimagi, you will have tremendous freedom to pursue your own interests and grow your skill set as well as make a real impact across the world. Our developers are a tight knit group and do things like convince the CEO to let everyone go to Brazil for a month because Boston’s weather sucks in February.
