Please note some of our client contracts require staff to be located in Canada, so while remote work is available, most positions require you to legally be able to work within Canada.
Free stuff: If you prefer to work from our office HQ, located in Kelowna, we have the added extra of juice, pop, snacks and coffee; choose your pleasure and enjoy.
Slappies: Tougher to explain but once a quarter we get together and have a little ceremony, some food and a laugh - no altars or corporate chants involved
Fun day: We aim to have fun every day; however, every year for a day we cram a bunch of fun on ourselves. Weee!
SPARC Events: Sometimes we have a virtual happy hour, team building events, (less corny than it sounds), competitions, or just a plain little reward for no reason. It’s a little spark in our usually normal days.
Professional development: We might live and breathe software development, but we are also really passionate about our team's personal development too. We love to learn and are always striving to be the best version of ourselves; whether it's training on the latest technology or learning how to become a better delegator, we will help you improve your skills and hit your goals.
Culture: We’re a certain type of people. We’re all a little different and unique in our own way but we seem to work well together. No one’s perfect, and we embrace that.
