Communication
Hand-in-hand with teamwork, our developers need to be able to communicate their ideas in person and in print.

Desire to learn
Silverthread is creating tech to solve problems that haven’t been solved before. Using tech born from over a decade of research at MIT, we’re constantly expanding our capabilities as a company, as a team, and as individuals. A developer with a desire to grow as they work will flourish here.
