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 weekly 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.
  • Paid-Time-Off — You’ll get up to 30 days a year to use as you like.
  • Annual office closures — We have two each year to give everyone a well-deserved break.
  • Professional development — We’ll help fund your learning and development so that you succeed in your role and beyond.
  • Generous benefits — You’ll have a competitive benefits package that starts the first day you do.
  • 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.

“Our workplace mantra? Put your oxygen mask on first - you can't help others if you can't breathe."

- Dorothy Eng, Chief Executive Officer 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.
