12 Canadian companies hiring now
Explore these exceptional Canadian career opportunities.
Canada’s tech sector isn’t slowing down this summer. At Web Summit Vancouver in May, innovation ecosystem leaders like Clio CEO Jack Newton spoke about the growing push to build and scale tech companies here at home, reducing reliance on U.S. markets. The Government of British Columbia backed that vision with a $30-million investment in startup support, focused on AI training and intellectual property programs.
From cleantech to fintech, software and health, Canadian startups are investing in talent. Here are 12 tech companies hiring this month.
