Picking up where we left off on the Deloitte Fast 50, figuring out who’s local and who has jobs.
Local companies with interesting positions (or non-local companies with local positions):
- Truition (#32) does “eCommerce destinations” at Front and University, and is looking for core developers with Java and C++, a Graphic Designer, Network Operations and QA. I hear through the grapevine that they’ve made cuts recentely, which is hard to reconcile with being in the Fast 50, so you would want to exercise caution.
- Bluecat Networks (#33) does ip address management at Yonge and York Mills. They’re looking for a range of people, from Java Developers, QA, trainers, tech writers.
- Dundas Data Visualization (#34) does data visualization (graphing, mapping, etc.) software/components that integrate with microsoft technologies, from .NET to SharePoint up at Eglinton/DVP where OnX used to fly their logo. They’re looking for a range of people: developers, tech writers, graphic designers, evangelists.
- PointClickCare (#35) does long-term-care software-as-a-service at 401 & Mississauga road. They’re looking for Java developers with and without a reporting (Jasper Reports) background.
- NRT Technology (#39) does ‘cash handling’ (mostly point-of-sale) at Finch & McCowan. They’re looking for a developer with a C++/Java background.
- Averna (#41) does ‘test engineering’ software out of Montreal, QC. Most of their jobs are in Montreal, but they do have some Toronto and Toronto/Montreal openings.
- Masstech Group (#43) does “broadcast workflow”, which seems to consist of video management solutions at Leslie & 16th (404 & 407). They’re looking for C and Java developers.
- Redline Communications (#47) does wireless broadband at Warden and Highway 7. They’re looking for network hardware people and software developer.
Local companies, no interesting positions:
- Grey Island Systems (#26) provides Internet/GPS fleet-management systems, which seem to be primarily for tracking the location/status of your fleet. No obvious postings.
Nearly local companies, or companies with nearly-local positions:
- Talent Technology (#29) does recruitment and hiring software out of Richmond BC, and they’re looking for core developers with .NET skills. However, they are also hiring some Kitchener-based people with a more implementation-oriented focus.
