Why work here?

Though we’re based in Ottawa, Canada, we serve our global customer base remotely, so in this role you’ll work from home. We know the importance of staying engaged and connected in a virtual environment, so we’re flexible, open, and highly collaborative.

We operate in a relatively flat organization structure allowing for more authority and decision-making at the team contributor level. We share goals and objectives, enjoy spirited debates around strategy and tactics, and when a decision is made, everyone is accountable for their expected contributions. It’s a fun, respectful, mutually supportive environment, where making suggestions and asking for help are always welcome.

As a member of a smaller team, you’ll have the opportunity to grow professionally and personally while making a significant impact on the shaping of the company and product. We also offer opportunities for continuous learning and career development, including technical training and certification in Okta.

If you’re interested in what we’re doing and think you might be a good fit for our team, we look forward to hearing from you.
