We’re open to remote candidates within Canada. 

At Metalab, we design, build, and ship some of the world’s most beloved products. Founders at early-stage startups hire us to help build businesses from scratch. Leaders at global enterprises hire us to explore new technologies and launch new products. 

We're a distributed team with offices in Victoria and Vancouver.
