Senior Project Manager

About DeARX

The idea started in 2001 when a company with a need connected with a few IT experts in search of a solution. Working together, a solution was created and DeARX celebrated with their first customer. At its most basic level, the same is true today, only we have more customers and many more technologists solving more and more problems by building better and better solutions. The technologies have changed, for the better; we've employed amazing people, some of whom have stayed and some who have moved on; our focus remains, to build technology solutions for companies so they become our customers. DeARX has evolved and will continue to do so but core to our business is to value our people, deliver great solutions to our customers, bring the best technology possible to the solution, love what we do and create a legacy that benefits many others now and into the future.
