As a research-based consulting firm, Advanis’ expertise and innovations have a profound impact on
business and public sector affairs. For our private sector clients, our research helps design successful new
products; set the right prices; test entirely new product or service ideas; maximize their brand value and
positioning; increase their customers’ satisfaction; target their most profitable customers; and much
more. Our research helps our public sector clients evaluate programs; develop policies; understand social
decision-making; and design and optimize the delivery of government services to Canadians. We consult
with some of the leading corporations in the world and to all levels of government in Canada.

To ensure that our market research team delivers reliable, timely, and actionable information to our
business and government clients, Advanis develops and continuously improves its own suite of state-of-
the-art marketing and analysis software tools. This in-house software expertise has proven to be a core
competency of our organization. Advanis’ team of expert programmers pride themselves on using Test
Driven Development (TDD) and follows the practices described by Robert Martin in his book entitled
Clean Code.

If you are passionate about the Computer Science market and social research, consider becoming one of
the next generation of leaders at Advanis.

The Role

We are seeking extremely intelligent candidates who love to be fully focused on problem-solving, are
intrigued by wading into “uncharted waters” because they are confident in their ability to learn quickly,
and aspire to be highly revered amongst their professional programming peers.

Experience and Education




Such candidates should also possess the following technical qualifications:

- A university degree or
- A diploma in an applied field.

Specific Skills

- Familiarity with the following: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, and SQL;
- Familiarity with database design; and
- Familiarity with Unix.

Training

Successful candidates will have a passion for computing science. Candidates who do not have a strong
desire to improve their programming skills need not apply. Junior Programmers will receive internal
training – frequent code reviews by Senior Programmers, iterative quality of code feedback and direction
for improvement, problem-solving meeting participation, and self-directed or classroom courses as
required. You will be assigned a senior career mentor with whom you will meet monthly to ensure you
are able to meet your personal goals, and initially, you will have a “training buddy” of whom you can ask
every little question to get you up to speed as quickly as possible.

Closing Date: Open until suitable candidate(s) are hired

Compensation

We offer a competitive remuneration package with salaries commensurate with experience and
demonstrated skill level. The package includes a comprehensive health benefits plan (Advanis-paid
premiums, not co-pay) and annual performance-driven bonuses. Additionally, high performers are given
the opportunity to purchase shares in the company. You also have an “employee choice” work
environment:



you choose whether to work from home, in one of our offices (Edmonton, Waterloo,
Montreal), or hybrid. We do have employees who work from home in cities other than the three office
locations.
