We’re steps from dozens of shops and restaurants, and the TTC stops right at our doorstep. Make the St. Lawrence Market your corner grocery store, or stop by the historic Distillery District for gelato. Live nearby and want to bike to work? There’s a rack of Bixi bikes next door.
Our culture

We have flexible hours, and an awesome work-from-home policy.
Like team sports? The game moves as fast as the player with the puck . Our lab takes a work-hard, play-hard approach to software development and has the intramural groups to prove it. Try your hand at hockey, foosball, or soccer. When we have visitors in town from other offices, you might find us scaling the walls (we mean that literally ).
