Pillar Technology Group is about to become a company on the move. The software firm is in the process of moving its Ann Arbor office from the Tech Brewery to a new space in downtown Tree Town.
"They should be in there putting up drywall as we speak," says Charles Fry, executive vice president of global growth for
Pillar Technology Group.
The 20-year-old company is moving to a 10,000-square-foot office at 301 E Liberty St in downtown Ann Arbor early next year. The company has called the
Tech Brewery, a software entrepreneur collective located on the city’s north side, home for the last few years. However, a spate of rapid-fire hiring has prompted it to find a new space with more elbow room.
"We just outgrew it," Fry says. "It (Tech Brewery) is a great space. It has done great things for us. We have a holiday party next week and it will probably be standing-room only. We are just busting at the seams."
Pillar Technology Group provides software and consulting services for a broad range of industries in the Midwest, such as automotive, financial, insurance and telecommunications, among others. The company has hired 30 people (mostly software developers) in Ann Arbor in 2014, expanding its staff to 60 employees and two interns.
Pillar Technology Group is currently looking to hire as many as a dozen software engineers. It is looking for senior-level developers with a high-end skill set.
"We are always looking for the smartest software engineers we can find," Fry says.
