And the reason is simple — we know how to take care of our people:

  • 4.5 workdays per week, year-round (Friday afternoons off);
  • Truly flexible work: remote (for individuals residing in the province of Quebec), hybrid, or 100% on-site — it’s your choice;

  • Bring your expertise to help determine the most appropriate technical approaches to deliver the project and achieve the desired results;
  • Ensure code quality and the application of best development practices (code reviews, testing, optimization);
  • Lead, coach, and support your direct team through continuous feedback and ongoing coaching;
