Careers at LocalScout
Help us fix local services
for Canadians
Most Canadians have been burned by a contractor who didn't show up, a platform that charged 30% commission, or a review they couldn't trust. We're building the marketplace that fixes that — from the ground up, in Canada, for Canada.
See Open RolesWhy join us?
We're early — which means your work ships, your decisions matter, and you'll see the direct impact on real Canadians booking real services in their communities.
Canadian by Design
We build for Canadian communities, Canadian seasons, and Canadian laws. This isn't a US product copy-pasted north of the border.
Privacy First
Every engineering and product decision starts with PIPEDA. We don't just comply — we treat privacy as a competitive advantage.
Fair to Both Sides
We genuinely care about Providers earning a fair living, not just optimising take rate. A healthier supply side means better outcomes for everyone.
Ship Fast, Fix Fast
We move quickly and aren't precious about being wrong. A shipped experiment that teaches us something beats a perfect design doc.
Default Transparent
We share context openly — strategy, metrics, trade-offs, mistakes. No one should have to guess what's happening or why.
Craft Matters
We take quality seriously. Fast AND good isn't a contradiction — it's what we hire for.
Benefits & perks
Early-stage doesn't mean under-compensated. We offer competitive salaries, real benefits, and flexibility — because sustainable work produces better outcomes.
