Benefits

RedElastic is a small company without the bureaucracy of traditional consulting firms. We didn’t start RedElastic to grow into yet another giant consulting company, we started RedElastic to create a home for the top talent in Canada so we could all build a brand we’re proud of. We’re very selective about who we hire, and even more selective about the client work we take on. This means you’ll have a direct impact on the type of work we do as a team together.

• Top-shelf compensation
• Spend 2-5 days per week in our office in downtown Toronto, complete with free coffee, beer taps, and most importantly some great conversations with other talented folks; work from home the rest of the time
• Remote applicants from outside Canada will be considered on a contract-basis
• The ability to make a difference without the traditional boundaries of an enterprise role; create unique and compelling solutions without a hint of micromanagement
• Take your career to the next level by participating in conferences, contributing to our blog, or even working on a book with us (well help you achieve your career goals in any way we can)
