Our vision is to build healthy communities that raise the quality of life for everyone, and that includes our team members. While we are never perfect, we have built a process that fosters fairness and helps to minimize bias, this includes structured processes and interviews.
Our goal is that everyone interviewed has a positive experience, regardless of the outcome.
Stage 1: Send us your resume and a note (cover letter) about how your story connects to ours and a writing sample. Tell us your story! We believe a resume should be a value proposition rather than simply a list of places you’ve worked. We promise that a human will read each and every story.

Stage 4: We might ask you to participate in a short exercise that gives you a realistic preview of the work and gives us insight into how you operate. No need to prepare, show us what you already know!
Stage 5: If you are offered the position we might need to perform a background check as we work with sensitive data.

• You get to participate in building products that will save lives and genuinely help communities who have been marginalized or made more vulnerable.
• You get to build something good for people and see the results of your work quickly, in multiple contexts, at the same time.

• A stacked leadership team. Our core leadership team is equipped with unmatched industry knowledge and unique past experiences. They are always accessible and eager to work directly with the entire team.
• Self Development & Education Fund. Never stop learning! We support and subsidize many conferences, classes, and books.
• Health Care Coverage and flexible personal & sick days. We want our team to be happy and healthy.

Terms:
This is a full time position with health benefits starting immediately. We are exclusively looking for people eligible to work in Canada and an Ontario based resident that can join us at our downtown Toronto office a few times a week, as needed.
