About C2:
The C2 Group builds, integrates, and delivers business-critical web solutions that get the most from technologies, tools, and teams. Our primary focuses include strategic problem solving, web and application development, agentic solutions and implementation, and ongoing support.
About You:
• Technical Advisor - You're the bridge between big-picture strategy and ground-level execution. Clients trust you not just because you understand the technology, but because you can make it make sense - translating complex architectural decisions into clear, actionable direction without losing the nuance that matters.
• .NET Problem Solver - Gnarly .NET, C#, CMS, and integration challenges are where you do your best work. You don't shy away from complexity - you lean into it, methodically working through the layers until a clean, defensible solution emerges.
• AI-Minded by Practice - You're not just aware of AI trends - you've built with them. Designing intelligent workflows, writing agents, and finding the right spots to apply automation are part of how you think about modern solutions, not afterthoughts bolted on at the end.
• Documentation as a Deliverable - You believe documentation should be treated the way good engineers treat code - it should work. From architecture to standards to handoffs, the documentation is clear for the next person.
• Quality by Instinct - Maintainability, security, performance, accessibility, and long-term support are non-negotiables. You build things that hold up, and you notice when something won't before it becomes someone else's problem.
• Curious as a Working Style - You are drawn to better patterns, sharper tools, and reusable approaches that improve outcomes driven by genuine interest.
C2 Core Values:
• Intentional - Intent drives how we engage in our work and interact with others. Deliberate action, focus, willingness, empathy, and staying calm under pressure each exemplify being intentional. We seek to be purposeful in our actions and thoughtful in our delivery.
• Enthusiastic - Enthusiasm shapes our actions while demonstrating knowledge, passion, and confidence. Our work requires maintaining a realistic and positive vision for the future. Whether it's in service to team or task, we look to engage with a positive focus and energy.
• Low Ego - Maintaining a low ego provides the right context for serving others. While we are all talented and unique contributors, we realize success is ultimately a team pursuit. We aspire to be accountable, receptive to feedback, and team oriented.
