Job description

Why? Because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for error is small. For us to have the greatest impact on the world, we need to be laser focused on our core mission, which is...

Oh, and we have a bit of fun while doing it, too!

We do this with a laser focus on hiring the right people who are smart, positive, and who want more than the typical nine-to-five offers.

We offer an extremely rewarding, second to none work environment as acknowledged by Ottawa’s Best Places to Work 2024! We show our investment in our people through our competitive salaries, equity in the company, great benefits, paid vacation, Life leave days (because life happens), team lunches and off-sites, and most importantly our commitment to YOUR career growth.
