Jobs in cleantech
Mosaic Manufacturing
What they do: Manufacturing complex parts or products is a long and costly process at the mercy of overseas facilities and supply chain bottlenecks. Toronto-based Mosaic Manufacturing is addressing this with its 3D printer system. This allows companies to design and manufacture industrial-grade parts on-site.
The workplace experience: Learn more about working at this Toronto-based 3D printing company.
Current opportunities: Account executive, senior electrical engineer and senior software engineer.
New School Foods
What they do: Toronto-based New School Foods makes plant-based whole cut alternatives of salmon fillets, steaks and ribs. Its goal is to create alternative proteins that actually look, cook and flake like the real thing, targeting meat eaters who don’t want to compromise on the experience of a traditional meal.

Current opportunities: Flavour scientist, food scientist and automation engineer.
Smarter Alloys
What they do: Cambridge, Ont.-based Smarter Alloys develops shape memory alloys that change shape when exposed to different temperatures. This allows the parts to move without motors or electronics, making them useful in tight or delicate environments such as medical, cleantech and aerospace applications.
What it’s like to work there: CEO Ibraheem Khan says the company values people who bring cross-disciplinary expertise to the team. “Whether your background is in mechanical, electrical, chemical or manufacturing engineering, we value adaptable problem-solvers,” he says.
Current opportunities: CNC programmer machinist, production team lead and materials science engineer.
Jobs in health
Deep Genomics
What they do: Toronto-based Deep Genomics is using artificial intelligence to tackle some of the hardest problems in drug discovery. The company’s platform is designed to identify patterns and connections in genomic data that would be impossible for human scientists to parse alone. The result is a faster, more precise path to developing treatments for conditions affecting millions of patients, from metabolic disorders to rare genetic diseases.
What they look for in a candidate: Deep Genomics seeks what COO Tom Masterson calls “multilingual” talent — people who can move fluidly between machine learning and biology. “Our software engineers know more about genetics than I do,” he says. “People come here because they want to make a difference for patients.”
Current opportunities: Senior research associate, senior machine learning operations engineer and senior scientist.
Enhanced Medical Nutrition
What they do: Enhanced Medical Nutrition (EMH) develops nutrient-rich food products that help patients prepare for and recover from surgeries and other medical procedures. This helps people focus on getting better, rather than worrying about cooking.
Fun fact: Company founder Eric Zimmerman learned about medical nutrition at a conference while working for a medical device company. The experience inspired him to launch EMH.
Current opportunities: Patient education associate and regional sales associate.
PhenoTips
What they do: PhenoTips develops software to help healthcare systems deliver genetically-informed care, such as flagging patients with a family history of breast cancer so they can receive earlier genetic testing and personalized screening. Its platform directly integrates with leading electronic health record systems to provide end-to-end patient care.
Fun fact: The company began as a joint research project in the heart of Toronto’s Discovery District, connecting computer scientists at the University of Toronto with geneticists at SickKids.
Current opportunities: Clinical software product engineer and machine learning engineer.
Jobs in finance
Foxquilt
What they do: Foxquilt is a Toronto-based company that makes getting insurance faster and more affordable for small and medium-sized businesses. Through its platform, business owners can compare coverage options, get a quote and receive their policy in minutes.
Fun fact: Foxquilt has been licensed to operate in eight Canadian provinces.
Current opportunities: Insurance operations manager.
Furnishr
What they do: Moving into a new home means weeks of shopping, coordinating deliveries and assembling furniture. Toronto-based Furnishr helps customers with the entire furnishing process. Customers share their style preferences, space dimensions and budget, and the company’s designers build out a complete package and have it move-in ready in as little as four weeks.
Fun fact: Furnishr founders Karen Lau and Mike Van tested out their idea for the service in a unique way — posting an ad on Craigslist.
Current opportunities: Salesperson, drapery manager and flooring sales consultant.
ProNavigator
What they do: ProNavigator is an AI assistant built specifically for insurance teams tasked with cross-referencing fragmented policy documents and claims histories. This solution helps claims handlers, underwriters and customer service reps make faster, more consistent decisions.
In the news: The Kitchener-based startup was acquired by Guidewire in November 2025.
Current opportunities: Cloud platform support engineer, information security analyst and senior data engineer.
Jobs in software
Employment Hero (formerly Humi)
What they do: Toronto-based Employment Hero helps small- and medium-sized businesses manage HR, payroll and benefits. Its all-in-one platform automates tasks like onboarding, time off and payroll processing.
In the news: In March, the company launched an AI-powered recruitment agent to help its customers reduce the time they spend screening potential candidates, meaning faster responses and less ghosting for applicants tired of sending resumes into the void.
Current opportunities: Bilingual sales development associate, product owner and customer care consultant.
Uncanny Owl
What they do: Toronto-based Uncanny Owl builds automation and eLearning software tools for the WordPress ecosystem. It specializes in creating plugins that allow different web tools to communicate with each other without the need for custom coding. For organizations and educators, this can replace hours of manual administrative work with automated workflows.
Fun fact: The company started as an eLearning consulting and content development agency, but soon pivoted to selling its WordPress plugin when customers started to ask if they could license Uncanny Owl’s code.
Current opportunities: WordPress developer and growth manager.
Noibu
What they do: E-commerce businesses use Noibu to identify website errors that impact sales. Its mission is to minimize abandoned carts by monitoring a client’s e-commerce workflow, flagging errors that could prevent customers from checking out.
In the news: Just last month, the Ottawa-based company expanded its e-commerce analytics and monitoring platform.
