• Work from anywhere as part of a 100% remote company with flexible working hours and core hours for real-time collaboration. • Receive health benefits and stock options. • Access 401K for US employees or Group RRSP for Canadian employees. • Take unlimited and flexible vacation time. • Receive paid parental leave. • Enjoy a generous paid holiday schedule. • Join a team that includes people from Netflix, Twitter, Meta, Microsoft, Roblox, Google, Amazon, Unity, Spotify, Discord, and more.
