Work Life of a QRexian

We are a young and growing tech startup. Our team is located primarily in Halifax, Canada, but we have teammates throughout Canada, in South America, in India, and in the Philippines. We are an eclectic bunch, and we value diversity of lifestyle, of activities, of background, and of modes of thinking. We are an empowered team, and we treat people as adults. We do not micromanage.

We offer a full suite of benefits, and an open vacation policy; we make sure people get the time off they need, when they need it, and for whatever reason they need it. The First Friday of every month we gather at a local (to Halifax) craft brewery to enjoy each other’s company, and to refresh our palate with beverages and pizza. We hold several companywide social events throughout the year with the highlight being our annual St. QRex Day celebration – A QRA specific summer holiday that is becoming the stuff of epic legend. To get your name engaved on the St. QRex Cup is to be immortalised forever in QRexian lore. Come find out for yourself!
