Work where the work is respected.
We've been building this team since 1997, and we build it the same way we build client relationships: deliberately, for the long haul.
Most IT jobs come in two flavors: the ticket mill, where you're a queue-clearing machine with a headset, or the solo act, where you're the only technical person for miles and every problem is yours alone. We built a third kind. Our technicians work with named clients they actually know, across environments varied enough to stay interesting — a law office in the morning, a shop floor in the afternoon — with a full team behind them and nobody counting their tickets per hour.
It seems to work. Our average staff tenure runs long enough that clients joke about it, and several of our client relationships have outlasted most marriages. Those two numbers are related: people stay where they're taken care of, and clients stay with people they know.
What we look for is simple to say and rare to find: conscientious people who fit our values and raise the bar on service. Technical skill matters, and we'll grow it — curiosity, follow-through, and the instinct to actually finish things matter more. We hire across our whole footprint: the Portland metro, Salem, and Bend.
We hire for the decade, not the quarter.
Current openings.
We hire deliberately, which means we don't always have a posting up. When we do, it will be listed here. Right now we don't have an open position posted — but good people don't time the market, and we keep every strong note on file. If the way we work sounds like the way you'd want to work, send a short introduction and your resume to contactus@roinc.com with “Careers” in the subject line. We read all of them, and we respond to all of them.
