Senior Ruby Engineer - Remote

Posted 3 years ago

Tucows (NASDAQ:TCX, TSX:TC) has been on a mission to make the Internet better since the days when people unironically called it “The Information Superhighway.”

Starting back in the ‘90s as a shareware distributor, today our business operates in many different sectors —establishing ourselves as the world’s second-largest domains registrar and providing phone and Internet services across the US.

Tucows currently employs nearly 1,000 people worldwide, which is made possible by our hybrid work model. While we offer completely remote positions, we also have offices in key markets should our employees wish to use them. Our HQ is based in Toronto, with satellite offices across Europe and the US.

With the rise of 5G, it is a thrilling time to be in the telecom space. The Tucows Wireless Services team is developing a modern SaaS platform that helps wireless companies operate around the world —and we’re looking for the right players to help us.
