Staff Overview

As a successful service firm, Syncro's staff is its core asset.  Accordingly, we set a very high bar in the hiring process and then work hard to retain our quality staff.  As a result, our technical staff is rather exceptional, and our turnover is among the lowest in the industry. 

Syncro’s typical software engineer has around 15 years of software engineering experience.  All of our engineers are degreed, many with advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.  Syncro doesn't hire directly from degree programs; instead, all of our engineers come to us with significant real-world product development experience.  Additionally, Syncro encourages continuous technical education by means of certification programs (such as Microsoft Certified Professional accreditation) and technical seminars.

Because of the caliber of our staff, we are able to quickly spin up on new projects and then provide sustained high levels of productivity.

Importantly, Syncro’s engineers are easy to work with.  We understand the importance of functioning as a part of the client’s team and fitting in well with the client’s own staff.  Accordingly, we treat our clients with the utmost in professionalism and mutual respect.
