About you
You take pride in exceeding expectations. You love the satisfaction that comes from building and improving products. You uncover needs by listening closely and asking perceptive questions. You pay close attention to details and it bugs you when others do not. You have a keen eye for how things should work and you use data to prove (or disprove) your assertions. You’re vigilant about keeping a high bar of quality but you’re not afraid to try something new. You are excited to take on new challenges and be part of something small that is growing into something big.
We hire humans, not job descriptions. You should apply even if this role and salary range don't align with your experience. We’re happy to create unique roles and compensation for the right talent.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
