About Us

Isn't it about time you joined a company that really values your contribution? A company that is synonymous with innovation in the technical world? A company that is passionate about collaboration? A company that one of our developers described as "more of a game than a job." Welcome to ThoughtWorks.

We hire only the most passionate, talented people. This passion may manifest itself in a number of ways. You might be a vocal blogger, open-source committer, book-writer or conference-speaker. You might have a server farm in your garden shed. You might want to find new ways to deliver business value to your clients. You might just want to find out what working with like-minded people feels like, and see if that ignites your passion for IT again.

We've been at the forefront of innovation on Java platform for a long time and have pioneered the use of Inversion of Control and Domain Specific Languages. We've made significant contributions to the Java Open Source community via projects like CruiseControl, JMock and XStream. But we're also a Microsoft Gold Partner and our people provide thought-leadership to key Microsoft initiatives such as the Patterns and Practices effort. More recently we've been championing Ruby on Rails. Our Geek nights are full of passionate discussion about people's latest interests; things like behaviour driven development, cloud computing and languages like Scala, Boo and Erlang.

Add to this our focus on Agile delivery and you'll start to see why working here is refreshingly different.

We are a consultancy, so we can't always promise that our customer sites are as relaxed as our own office space, with the natural light, snacks, Guitar Hero and all the caffeinated beverages you can manage. But we try to make customer work fun and are working with some of the biggest names in the Canadian market. Being a consultancy means there's always the possibility of some travel. We do everything we can to make life here as easy as possible and always take people's personal situations into account. We think it's a small price to pay for the chance to work with us.

We're looking for senior developers with broad experience of enterprise Java. An interest in the latest technologies goes a long way here and we're looking for people who are passionate about the world of technology.

You'll bring some of the following skills:

• Analysis, design, coding and implementation of large-scale custom-built OO applications
• Great OO skills
• Experience working with, or an interest in Agile methods, including Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and iterative development
• Ability to work in a variety of client settings and in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
• Knowledge of software best practices like test driven development (TDD) and continuous integration
