    What does that mean? We are visionaries, community builders, passionate problem solvers, storytellers, coffee snobs (tea drinkers, too!), curious by nature, and culturally diverse.
    What are we obsessed with? Our users. Solving complex problems and maximizing flow. Learning constantly. Building the next great storytelling product. Finding the greatest stories ever told. Dogs (and cats), coffee, and good snacks.
    How do we work? Autonomously, collaboratively, respectfully. Balancing with work, family, and play...and all while having a great time.
     
    Unlock the best of both worlds with a role that keeps you connected! We're looking for passionate individuals in the Greater Toronto Area to join our team who can work 3x per week from our vibrant downtown Toronto office. Wattpad has a hybrid work model, where employees enjoy the flexibility to connect with colleagues and collaborate on exciting projects in person, as well as the time and space to for productive work from home.

    Wattpad is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate. Period. 
     
    Wattpad welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process. We have taken a leadership position on creating a culture and an organization that truly values diversity. We are committed to fostering a global team that reflects the diversity of the Wattpad community. At Wattpad, we believe cultural fit doesn’t mean culturally identical, and diversity of thought helps us to challenge one another to think big and think differently. We consider employment applicants without regard to age, race, colour, national origin, citizenship, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, disability status or any other protected status.  
     
    If you have any special needs or accessibility requirements, please let us know. We will do our utmost to accommodate, in accordance with applicable local legislation.
     
    Don’t meet all the requirements? Studies show women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs if they do not meet all the qualifications. Therefore, in an effort to build a more diverse workplace, we encourage you to apply anyways. You might actually be the right person or you may be a good fit for a number of other openings we currently have.
