Boston software development and design shop Vermonster is a small software consultancy with an emphasis on user-centered design. We have a great appetite for solving complex problems. Some of our favorite tools and techniques include: empathy, empiricism, curiosity, stakeholder and user interviews, in-field research and observation, cognitive walkthroughs, user journeys, and prototypes (paper and otherwise). From our work helping Al Gore spread the science behind climate change, to providing peace of mind for the parents of Boston school children with SchoolBot, to equipping doctors with critical medical treatment options in our work with McKesson, a Fortune 15 life-sciences company, we take immense pride in the quality of our product. In order for our work to be great, we need great people. We believe that the best means of both attracting and retaining talent is through the provision of challenging, meaningful work. We are a flat, non-hierarchical organization, and we try to keep overhead to a minimum. We are self-owned with no external partners. For this reason, we like to think of our clients as our shareholders. Lastly, we are very active members of the Boston, New York City, and Austin technology communities. Our employees are regulars at conferences and meet-ups on both sides of the Charles River, East River, and Colorado River.
