    Improving Vancouver's data and cloud team has been building strong relationships and expert technical knowledge with clients such as start-ups and established multi-nationals since 2017. From architecture to infrastructure to low level connector, we innovate and build out the world's data ecosystems. We value kindness, engagement, a resourceful perspective, and fresh ideas. We thrive on crafting technical excellence.

    LEARN WHAT Improving Vancouver (Formerly Bit Quill) DOES through this video primer:

    The Development Manager interview process is both discussion and demonstration in which you can tell us about your unique management style for teams and projects, and also show us how you would work with our clients to manage expectations. We are all about balance, so expect rich discussion with various team members, not brain teasers, about how you balance managing small to medium sized teams, with managing the customer's expectations through typical project challenges.

    Culture is huge for us so expect an exceptional onboarding experience where you'll get to know everybody in the company, get paired up with a buddy, matched with your peer group for sharing and learning, introduced to our various internal programs for refreshing and strengthening your leadership and customer facing skills, and work with your manager to make sure you are supported in your way of work and in your personalized career Growth Plan. We grow when our members grow, therefore your insights, your learning, your growth are critically important to us and we look forward to growing together
