On one side, you build real software: we develop our own systems in-house, including MIDNIGHT, our custom-built ERP, and a growing stack of internal tools and applications. On the other side, you own and run VVater's websites, our SEO, and our visibility in the new world of AI-powered search.\nWe need someone who can architect and ship custom software fast, and who can just as easily manage a WordPress site, drive it up the search rankings, and make sure VVater shows up when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews about water treatment.

You can vibe-code a working solution in under a minute, then harden it into production.\nYou are a true Swiss Army knife: engineer, web developer, and modern search strategist in one.
