 If you have these skills, you will fit right in with us.

  • Communication skills– Why? Because you will be expected to explain and vulgarize concepts by adapting the style and content of your messages to your audience (whether it’s internal client, external clients or your teammates).
  • Organization and resourcefulness– Why? Because we don’t believe in micromanagement. You will need to figure out solutions on your own by using your skills, your knowledge and any relevant information you can get your hands on.
  • Problem-solving skills– Why? Because when you will face a problem, you will first analyze the information before identifying the possible causes. You will then explore and implement the most efficient and logical solutions.
  • Adaptability– Why? Because our industry evolves constantly. You will have to adjust your thinking and methods to better suit new or unplanned situations (whether it’s for your daily tasks or your work environment).


 Here's what you can expect from us.

We believe professional success is based on one's ability to build genuine relationships, to showcase her/his talent at every opportunity and to be a lifelong learner. If you share this vision, you will be pleased to find among us highly experienced professionals who will be happy to mentor or coach you. We will invest in your development. We will also provide you with the compensation and the opportunities that will help you make your aspirations a reality.


 This is our team philosophy.

Technology is a promise of a better future and we want to build its foundation together. What unites our team is the sense of purpose we get from turning technological problems into practical and useful systems. That's who we are, not just what we do. If you share this philosophy, you might just be one of us. Send us your resume to tell us your story.
