All job postings describe a bit of a unicorn. If you’re kind of a “narwhal,” please apply anyway. You don’t need to meet all the requirements, let alone the bonus criteria. While experience and skill sets are valuable, growth potential and attitudes are equally important. We are usually flexible on levels.
We are a remote-first company with office space in Montreal. We prefer to hire in Quebec, but we are open to candidates anywhere in the EST±2 time zone in Canada.
AlleyCorp Nord values the diversity of the people it hires and serves. Diversity, for us, means fostering a workplace in which a person's differences are recognized, appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize their talents and strengths.

What We Do
We help early- and growth-stage startup founders derisk their tech development so they can launch faster, grow smarter, and achieve their vision. Dream big. We'll handle the tech.
We are the technology arm of venture capital studio AlleyCorp, founded by Kevin Ryan, and we’ve helped more than a dozen brilliant entrepreneurs build and launch products, and supported many more, in a variety of fields from healthcare to robotics to emerging tech.
One of the largest pain points for early-stage companies is finding great engineering, design and data talent. While it takes many startups and venture funds months to hire engineers, we are able to deploy superior technical talent immediately. Our team of technologists spans web and mobile development, product design, cloud infrastructure, data science, and engineering. Our Montreal office specializes in productizing research, with an emphasis on machine learning.
We’re excited to talk about your idea whether you’re a single founder with an idea, a small team with an MVP, or anything in between. We work with early- and growth-stage startups (pre-seed to Series C) to provide tech infrastructure—in every sense of the word—that will make their product development a success from day one.
- We provide guidance on product strategy, machine learning, design, and more.
- We help build cohesive foundational engineering teams, and offer fractional C-level services.
