Collective Bar Raising
We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and growth is expected as scope and ownership increase.

Team members within commuting distance of our Toronto office work in a hybrid model, while those based farther away primarily work remotely with occasional travel to Toronto for in-person time. Specific expectations can vary by role and will be discussed during the interview process.
