Principal ASP.NET & Microsoft Stack Consultant

Tusk was founded on two simple principles - create a great place to work, and do great work for our clients. Happy teams do great work, and our history of successful product launches for our customers are a testament to our own success. We are a Microsoft-focused development agency based out of Knoxville, TN. We serve a wide variety of industries- from small businesses to international enterprises, ecommerce to biotech- developing sophisticated, business critical solutions tailored to our clients' specific needs. We maintain a small company culture while offering big company benefits, and our employees enjoy the opportunity to work in cutting edge tech while making a real difference for our partners' businesses. Most importantly, we have a fantastic team that cares about doing good work and helping our clients grow.

Tusk is looking for a Principal Consultant to guide our team and lead our technical initiatives- both external and internal.
