Director of People & Culture
You are passionate about building long lasting relationships and are curious about what makes people tick. You are a listener. You have attention to detail both with people and process. You hypothesize, test, and validate on a regular basis. You bring a fresh perspective to the (virtual) table. You want to work for a company that helps you grow both professionally and personally. Ready to leap into a new dimension?
And us? We are well funded and growing exponentially. In 2021, we won Deloitte’s Fast 50 in Canada and Fast 500 in North America awards, recognizing us as one of the fastest growing technology companies on the continent — and we’re just getting started. We are building the world’s most advanced tools for e-commerce and interior decor. Our customers include Fortune 500 companies such as Home Depot, local retailers such as Alexanian’s, and leading brands such as Crate&Barrel. We are looking for zealous and collaborative challenge-seekers to amplify our momentum and help us create an iconic global tech company.

About our products

About our results
Our customers see a 5x increase in e-commerce conversion rates and a dramatic decrease in the time it takes to make a purchase decision. We are also reducing carbon footprint by eliminating trips to the store and avoiding product returns, while also saving marriages — because now you can be sure the products you buy for your home will fit and look good.
About our office and remote work
We are located in downtown Toronto with nearby access to both of the main subway lines. Currently, we are all working from home; we encourage our teams to work from wherever they are most productive, and many of us will continue to work from home in the future, either full-time or in part. While we’re all working remotely, we’ve come up with a few ways to keep everyone on the same page, including a quick company-wide check-in every Monday, remote coffee breaks on Fridays, and ad hoc topical sharing sessions. Another big upside is you get to be around your pets and plants (if you have them).
