Why Code for Canada?

Where we do it —

We’re a remote-first workplace, which means our team works from anywhere in Canada with a reliable internet connection.

We get together when we can, but optimize for folks to do their best work under their preferred conditions. So, we’ll ship you a computer, send you some $ for your home office, and see you online!

What you get —

From your first day, you can expect:

  • Flexible hours: Outside of team meetings, you’ll craft a schedule that works for you.
  • Work-life balance: You’ll be empowered to put your wellbeing first, whether that means picking your kids up from school every day, taking a no-questions-asked personal day, or anything in between.
  • Agency: Your manager will help set clear goals and then you’ll be trusted to chart your path and do your best work.
  • Transparency: We strive to be as open as possible, from salaries to day-to-day operations.
  • Generous paid time off: Enjoy 30 days off each year: 20 personal days and 10 vacation days (prorated your first year). 
  • Annual office closures: We have two each year to give everyone a well-deserved break.
  • Professional development support: We’ll help fund your learning and development so you succeed in your role and beyond.
  • Health and wellness covered: We provide a comprehensive health and dental benefits package.
  • Home office support: We’ll send you a remote work package, plus a little extra $ to help ensure your setup is comfortable and supportive.
  • Parental leave top up: Balancing work and parenthood is not easy. We'll support you in transitioning in and out of the workforce as you build your family.
  • An annual company-wide retreat: Every year, we bring the entire team together for an in-person retreat in a different Canadian location.
  • Get-Out-of-the-House Policy: Take a break, expense meals or activities with teammates, and recharge away from your desk.

“At Code for Canada, there’s an understanding that work isn’t our whole life—it’s what supports it. When something’s not working, there’s a genuine effort to adjust and improve things. That kind of flexibility and support makes a big difference."

- Danielle Sundquist, Director of People & Operations at Code for Canada

How we do it

Collaboration

We believe collaboration and cross-disciplinary approaches are at the heart of meaningful solutions.

Growth

We see every opportunity as a learning experience and pair a curious mindset with powerful digital principles and methodologies. Every project is a chance to both learn from, and build lasting capacity with, our partners and teammates.

Impact

We work with technologists, designers, non-profit professionals, public servants, policy-makers, and residents to create solutions that help people at scale.

Empathy

We meet our partners where they are in their digital journey and always build with, not for, the end-users.

Communication

We believe in working in the open and sharing our learnings and successes widely and to the benefit of others.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

We believe in a workplace that is not only free from discrimination but is proactively inclusive. We also apply these values to everything we design and develop.
