Come build the future

We’re looking for curious people who want to make an impact.

Apply if you’re ready to accept the challenge.

Our Core Values

Challenge

We choose incredibly challenging and engaging work, experimenting with new technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Impact

Results drive brilliant people. Axioms don't waste time looking busy: we optimize for impact, not effort.

Diversity

To fit in here, you have to stand out everywhere else. Diversity is our secret weapon for attacking problems from multiple angles.

Growth

We hire people with diverse strengths, but one is non-negotiable: the desire to constantly improve, professionally and personally.

Interview Process

01
Apply
We’ll start by reviewing your resume, cover letter, and relevant social media links. We’re curious about you, so be sure to include information that showcases your skills and interests, such as your LinkedIn or GitHub profile, portfolio, or website.
02
Chat with us
We’ll email you to schedule a meeting. Tell us what you’re passionate about, your accomplishments, and the kind of challenges you’re looking for. We want to know the depth of your knowledge as it relates to the role.
03
Show us what you got
We may ask to see samples of your work. Depending on the position you’re applying for, these can be writing, code, or design samples. There might also be a take home assignment to help us understand if we’re a match.
04
Collaborate
Collaboration, feedback, and discussion are key to all positions at Axiom Zen. As such, we may invite you for an elbow-to-elbow session with other team members to see if we all work well together.
05
Meet the team
After interviewing with a few Axioms (and likely our founder), we’ll review everyone’s feedback before requesting references.
06
References and offer
We want to hear from people who’ve worked with you. Ideally, that feedback comes from previous supervisors or managers. Once we’re confident we have a fit, we’ll send out an official job offer!
Timing
Building agile teams who thrive in a distributed hierarchy is complicated alchemy. We pride ourselves on finding perfect fits, so our collaborative hiring process can take 3-6 weeks. Be sure to let us know of any deadlines, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Team members have access to a Professional Development budget, separate from compensation, to be spent on conferences, classes, books, and other resources to expand their skill set and professional growth.

Leadership opportunities

The structure of our team allows leadership roles to develop organically. With dialogue as a motor, our organization fosters collaboration and new challenges; quiet complacency is never an option.

Speaker Travel Budget

All our team members have the opportunity to become thought leaders. We have a policy to cover travel and accommodations for speaking engagements.

“Live the Brand” Program

Time outside of the office helps us think outside the box, and using great products helps us build them better. We were one of the first to try Google Glass, the Oculus Rift, Myo, and many more.

Flexible Parental Leave Policies

We understand the importance and demands of a growing family. In addition to state, provincial, and federal leave allowances, parents on the team have the flexibility to work from home or take days off when family needs to come first.

Flexible Time Off & Remote Work Policy

We have a high standard for impact but we insist on work-life harmony. Minimum of 15 off days every year, with no hard limit. As we accomplish our goals, time off is more than a must.

Commuter Reimbursement

We cover public transport to work and back. If you bike to work, great! We set aside $1000/year for bike maintenance.

Holistic initiatives

From aromatherapy to yoga, we integrate our comprehensive approach to well-being into the ZenDen day-to-day.

Fitness reimbursements

We reimburse for health-related benefits like gym memberships and personal training.

Top-line company smartphone of your choice in addition to a paid voice and data plan.

“Live the Brand” Products

Every team member receives a generous equipment budget to try new gadgets, tools, platforms, and products. This includes new wearables, internet-of-things gadgets, etc.

Zen Workspace

Dog-friendly, welcoming of children, and crafted for comfort – our workspace is constantly improving to help our Axioms reach the most creative and productive version of themselves.

Staying together

Once a week we sit down to eat together. The team lunch is one of our many traditions that help us to tighten the bonds between Axioms that work on unrelated projects.
