We are looking for systematic, open-minded, curious, self-motivated and resourceful problem-solvers. You are highly organized, quality-minded and able to focus on detail.
Tucows runs one of the most progressive customer service operations in the world. We have unparalleled benefits, generous vacation time, amazing perks, a highly competitive starting salary and we will train you and surround you with a first-class team.
