Hi, my name is Pat Deegan and I am a person in recovery from schizophrenia.

Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans are diagnosed with mental illness in the course of a lifetime? My company is working on an exciting new product. It will help everyday people diagnosed with mental illness by providing user-informed information about how to manage illness in the context of everyday life.

We’re looking for a full-time, junior to mid-level software developer to join us. You would be working with our technical lead to take over many of the day-to-day responsibilities for the technical development and maintenance of our web-based resources. You would also be joining our team to design new products and improve our existing ones.

We think this is a great opportunity for a recent graduate!
