Senior Software Developer

Are you tired of a long rush hour commute, but don't want to work permanently from home? You want to get out of the house and meet up with your colleagues and chat and solve problems collaboratively? Then why not consider IRIS Analytics! We have a small office based in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. Here you can enjoy a laid back lifestyle away from the big city, a short commute, lower cost of living, and easy access to nature! We know that working permanently from home and being in zoom meetings all day isn't for everyone, and we've found that being in the office is a competitive advantage for us, whether it's helping our new hires learn and get up to speed faster, or quickly discussing a new idea without needing to schedule a meeting, we think that getting together to come up with solutions lets us work smarter and solve problems faster! Of course, that doesn't mean that we need to be in the office 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. We have a hybrid model where we come in 3 days a week, and still have flexible hours. If this sounds like a position that would appeal to you then keep reading!
