Who are we? Entrepreneurs and Do-ers.
Our vision is to entertain and connect the world through stories, and our mission is to use the power of community and technology to unleash the full potential of stories to the world.

What does that mean? We are visionaries, community builders, passionate problem solvers, storytellers, coffee snobs (tea drinkers, too!), curious by nature, and culturally diverse.

What are we obsessed with? Our users.
Solving complex problems and maximizing flow.
Learning constantly.
Building the next great storytelling product.
Finding the greatest stories ever told.
Dogs (and cats), coffee, and good snacks.

How do we work? Autonomously, collaboratively, respectfully.
Balancing with work, family, and play.
and all while having a great time.

Wattpad is a remote friendly company and encourages remote candidates to apply as long as they are located and authorized to work in either the US or Canada (excluding Quebec) as a precondition of employment.
We are not able to sponsor applicants for work permits.

If you happen to live near the areas of either Toronto, Ontario or Halifax, Nova Scotia, you may also have the opportunity to work from our beautiful offices - 1 located in Downtown Toronto and the other in Halifax.

Culture and Diversity

Wattpad is an equal opportunity employer.
We do not discriminate.
Period.

Wattpad welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities.
Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
We have taken a leadership position on creating a culture and an organization that truly values diversity.
We are committed to fostering a global team that reflects the diversity of the Wattpad community.
At Wattpad, we believe cultural fit doesn't mean culturally identical, and diversity of thought helps us to challenge one another to think big and think differently.
We consider employment applicants without regard to age, race, colour, national origin, citizenship, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, disability status or any other protected status.

If you have any special needs or accessibility requirements, please let us know.
We will do our utmost to accommodate, in accordance with applicable local legislation.

Don't meet all the requirements? Studies show women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs if they do not meet all the qualifications.
Therefore, in an effort to build a more diverse workplace, we encourage you to apply anyways.
You might actually be the right person or you may be a good fit for a number of other openings we currently have.
