At ALLO, we believe people are our biggest asset. Our team brings the ALLO mission to life because as local members of each community, we live, work, play, and volunteer right here with you. We’re passionate about being involved and contributing to the success and progress of each of our fiberhoods.

We pursue these passions because ALLO leaders have created a workplace where folks are valued, ideas are heard, and work-life balance is an everyday practice.

Do you love digging into the nitty-gritty? Are you a motivated problem solver who nerds out about tech stuff? We have just the GIG for you! Allo is looking for a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer.

ALLO knows how to build. Since 2003, we’ve built a fiber-optic network completely from scratch for our fiberhoods in Nebraska and Colorado and Arizona. Since our pioneering days in the early 2000s we’ve built our team, going from about 80 employees to more than 650. As we grow, so do the technical needs of business. That’s why we’re looking for an experienced developer to join our eclectic development team.

ALLO Software Engineers are part of the Systems Integration Group, an agile team focused on building software solutions that improve the lives of our staff and customers. We’re looking to get agile, build efficiencies, reduce wasteful processes and redundancy, and streamline at every possible level. Knowledge and experience are essential; we need someone who doesn’t have to Google CICD, SQL, and API before the interview. We also look for those who demonstrate a natural instinct for our core values: Honest, Local, Exceptional, and Hassle-Free. Fiber-optic knowledge isn’t required; just a desire to learn and keep us moving forward.
