About thinkbridge

thinkbridge is how growth-stage companies can finally turn into tech disruptors. They get a new way there with world-class technology strategy, development, maintenance, and data science all in one place. But solving technology problems like these involves a lot more than code. That's why we encourage thinkers to spend 80% of their time thinking through solutions and 20% coding them. With an average client tenure of 4+ years, you won't be hopping from project to project here unless you want to. So, you really can get to know your clients and understand their challenges on a deeper level. At thinkbridge, you can expand your knowledge during work hours specifically reserved for learning. Or even transition to a completely different role in the organization. It's all about challenging yourself while you challenge small thinking.

thinkbridge is a place where you can:

1. Think bigger because you have the time, opportunity, and support it takes to dig deeper and tackle larger issues.
2. Move faster because you'll be working with experienced, helpful teams who can guide you through challenges, quickly resolve issues, and show you new ways to get things done.
3. Go further because you have the opportunity to grow professionally, add new skills, and take on new responsibilities in an organization that takes a long-term view of every relationship.
