About the role

We’re looking for seasoned Senior Software Developers to help us build A.I. products and services. While no experience with A.I. technology is required for this role, experience is a plus, and a candidate should be eager and willing to experiment with and learn new technologies.

Why you should join us

• Work with like-minded individuals in a work-hard/play-hard culture
• Continued learning is a major part of our best-practice-driven environment. We support our teams with a substantial budget for training and career development
• Work-life balance is important to us: after-hours and weekend work are rare to non-existent
• You will work in a highly collaborative team that functions efficiently even in a remote work setting. You will have flexibility to work from home, at one of our unique offices in London (Ontario) or Toronto, or in a hybrid mode
• We offer great competitive salaries, benefits plan, and RRSP matching plans
