Senior DevOps

BUILD SOMETHING YOUR NEIGHBOURS WILL LOVE

Were building Torontos dedicated platform for home management to empower the citys homeowners and to better connect our neighbours and the local Pros they trust.

Our focus is purely on the GTA market right now. We build our property base one street at a time and our marketplaces one neighbourhood at a time. Were a local tech company in every sense of the word. We start with integrity neighbourhood values and competitive craftsmanship and we build our business on neighbourhood trust.

We believe in holistic solutions to consumer problems. We believe in high-trust hyperlocal communities. We believe in low commission marketplaces that the best Pros can actually say yes to. And we believe that tech companies should go to work for the locally loved Pros of the GTA rather than trying to get those Pros to effectively work for the tech company. We believe that its good business to care. We believe that this problem space deserves a form of digital transformation that the people and Pros of Toronto can trust and invest in.

If this resonates with you and youre at a point in your career and your life where you want to do something uniquely difficult for a meaningful outcome youve found your next home.
