Paladin Data Systems Corporation and its affiliate Interlocking Software Corporation are gearing up for rapid growth. Over the next eighteen months Paladin Data Systems projects that it will more than double the number of employees it has in Kitsap County to one hundred. In addition to launching a recruiting campaign to find the best technical people available locally, Paladin is moving into a larger facility in Poulsbo’s Powder Hill Technology Park, and re-locating it’s InterLocking Software products sales office from Tukwila to the Queen Anne Hill area in Seattle..

CEO Jim Nall says “We’re just starting to see the real effects of the economic recovery. Paladin and ILSC have been cultivating opportunities during the economic slowdown so that when things improved we would be positioned to resume our growth. We are expecting a significant increase in the volume of business for both Paladin and ILSC. ”

The search for talent is focused on the areas of Technical Designer/Analyst, Developers, Database Administrators, Technical Project Managers, GIS Developers and Infrastructure/Network Support. According to Chief Technologist Gary Macy, “We’re casting the net wide to find creative technical people who live here, but work across the water. We’ve never actually recruited before, but to get this many really talented people on board in such a short amount of time is going to be a real challenge without some imaginative efforts.” Interested people should refer to the Paladin web site: www.PaladinData.com for more information.
