Our team is free to work and live where they thrive
We have the tools, tech, and attitude to succeed from anywhere. Our remote-first approach to work empowers our team members to work where they feel most productive and live where they're happiest.
We also have an innovative new shared space in Toronto for team members to use as much or as little as they like. We’ve named this space “BenchSci Commons,” alluding to the “commons” of economics—the cultural and natural resources we all share.
What remote-first means for you
Job accessibility
Remote-first allows us to open our roles to people living in more locations and ensure equal opportunities regardless of disabilities, caretaking responsibilities, or other considerations.
Trust and autonomy
We trust our team to do great work and provide them autonomy to do so. Flexibility and independence are just as crucial to success as resources and support.
Competitive compensation independent of location
Our salaries are competitive at a national level (for example: Toronto rates anywhere in Canada) and we don’t change them when people move within their home country.
Less commute time, more focus time
No commuting means our team members have more energy to channel into impactful deep work and more time for living their lives.
Home office improvement
Every team member receives $1,000 (CAD) to upgrade their remote workspace so that they can be their most productive.
Common core hours and flexible work
Our core hours account for multiple time zones so that no one has to work too early or late. Outside of core hours, people can organize their days however works for them and their team.
We’re distributed, not disconnected
Our team members work from home offices, coworking spaces, coffee shops, cottages, and our BenchSci Commons in Toronto, to name just a few places. But that doesn’t mean anyone is isolated. From Zoom to virtual reality to homecomings, we use tools and events to keep people connected. This helps us collaborate effectively and build and maintain the personal relationships that bond us as a team.
I had the opportunity to live and work in Salt Lake City, Utah. Being in a place like that when you’re working is super energizing and inspiring.
