Senior & Intermediate Developers (Remote)

Sparrow’s a real silicon-valley funded product company based in Alberta. We’re looking for some amazing senior and intermediate software developers (Product Developers) to join our product team and help us take our platform to the next level.

Every day, Sparrow helps our customers get the right information to the right employees across many distribution channels. Connected and informed employees are more productive, more engaged and happier. We believe everyone should feel that way.

At Sparrow, we are a passionate tribe with interests that range from anime to Star Trek to Dungeons and Dragons to food, good code, photography, reading… hmm, we may be a bit nerdy, but we don’t apologize for it. Our culture is centered around a few key ideas: health & family first, no blame – we’re one team – so how can we help and being the mentors, we wish we’d had earlier in our careers.

The type of people we’re looking for are the type who enjoy owning things, who love learning from others and sharing what they know, and who are highly adaptable. Being a small start-up, there’s lots of opportunity to grow and try things out.

Important - We cannot sponsor visas at this time. Therefore you must be a Canadian Citizen or be a permanent resident, or have your work status otherwise resolved, in order to apply.

AND PLEASE  make sure to submit the cover letter mentioned at the very end.

Our Product team is GROWING and we need more people helping us turn amazing ideas into delightful user experiences that transform the lives of our customers.
