Canada is a diverse country. In fact, with about 35 million people living in Canada, it has the second-largest population in the world after China. With such a big population, Canada is also home to many technology companies. At the same time, there are so many great Canadian technology companies that it can be hard to choose where to start your career in technology, especially since some of them may not even be known by people outside of Canada.
So here’s a list of “top 7” Canadian tech companies, with links directly to their job listings and with helpful information about each company:
1) Shopify Plus Customers
Shopify Plus is a scalable e-commerce platform for enterprise merchants. It allows companies to run fully branded online stores using the Shopify interface while offering additional features that aren’t available on “traditional” Shopify accounts. Shopify Plus was launched in 2013, and it’s growing super fast!
2) WealthSimple
WealthSimple is a technology company that provides the best investment options to its clientele. They are growing quickly and have many open positions! You can work in Toronto, Waterloo, or Vancouver.
3) Hootsuite
Hootsuite is often praised as being one of Canada’s most successful tech companies ever. If you do a quick Google search on “how much does Hootsuite make” or something similar, you’ll see that people are always asking how much money Hootsuite employees make. This is not because they only care about making as much money as possible (although it may be because of that), but because so many young tech professionals aspire to work at successful companies like Hootsuite.
4) Kik Interactive
Kik is a messaging app for iOS and Android. The company was recently valued at $1 billion after raising $50 million from venture capitalists. Kik is known for being one of the first Canadian tech successes —it was the first company to raise more than $1 million on Kickstarter! You can work in their Toronto office or their Waterloo office.
5) Statistics Canada
The Canadian government has a lot of technology companies that are great for recent graduates looking to begin their careers in tech. The most well-known one would be Statistics Canada, which is an agency of the government, although it operates independently from other branches, like the Canadian Parliament. The statisticians at Statistics Canada work with many types of data and are innovators who are constantly creating new programs or apps to keep up with the fast-paced world of technology today.
