Learn. Innovate. Lead.
Blue J is the leader in AI-powered tax research. We’re empowering tax experts with groundbreaking technology that allows them to work better and faster. At the heart of everything we do is our belief that people should be able to spend their time at work focusing on what they’re passionate about. It’s why we’re building what we’re building for our customers, and it’s how we shape our team. We hire smart people who want to build, experiment, and solve tough problems.

Our values
We put the customer first
We constantly put ourselves in the customer’s shoes, delivering outstanding customer value and optimizing the user experience.
We deliver on our promises
If we say we’re going to do something, we do it. Our colleagues and customers have peace of mind because they know we’ll do what we say we’re going to do.
We are pleasant and playful
We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Work is far more fun and a lot less like work when it is pleasant and playful.
We put the team’s interest over self-interest
We are always searching for ways to help our teammates, and we consider how our actions will affect all of Blue J, not just ourselves.
We are open to better ideas
We listen carefully to other points of view. We welcome feedback, and when we receive new information, we incorporate it into our viewpoint. When a better idea is presented, we acknowledge it and change course.
We solve the tough problems
Ignoring a problem isn’t an option. We continually work on solving issues and are always testing solutions. If one potential solution doesn’t work, we’ll try another one until we get it right. We are resourceful and relentless.
Benefits
Everyone’s an owner
Blue J’s success is everyone’s success. As a Blue J team member, stock options will be a meaningful part of your compensation package.
Robust health benefits
Nothing matters as much as your health, and we’ve invested heavily in a robust health benefits plan for your whole family. Premiums are fully covered by Blue J from day 1.
Flexible work options
Our headquarters are in Toronto, and all Blue J employees are welcome and encouraged to use our office space. Office life not for you? Work remotely if you prefer! Like to change things up? Do both and work hybrid! Depending on the role, there may be more in-person office time required, but we will communicate this in all job descriptions and be open about it in the hiring process. There are a few days a year we’ll ask the whole team to come to the office to collaborate in person, but for the most part, where you work is up to you.
Generous paid vacation
We believe that everybody deserves to have time for the activities and people we love outside of our work, and our approach to time off reflects that. All employees are entitled to at least 3 weeks of paid vacation per year on top of our holiday closure.
Parental leave
We are a family-friendly team and could not be more thrilled for our colleagues when they welcome new little ones into their lives. Our parental leave policy allows parents of all genders to take paid time off with their families as they grow.
Work from home bonus
No one at Blue J is working from their dining room chairs! We give all employees a one-time work from home bonus to set up their home office. If a new plant or vitamin-D lamp is going to make you more comfortable as you work from home, you can use it for that too!
Meaningful connection
As an organization that operates largely remotely, we know how important the time we have together can be. We have consistent team and company-wide touchpoints, including bringing people together in person from all over North America at least twice a year.
Holiday week of rest
We close for a week in December so that our team can celebrate the holidays with their loved ones, and kick off the new year rested and fulfilled.
Summer Fridays
Headquartered in a snowy climate, we know that summer afternoons are precious. We close the office at 1 P.M. on Fridays during the summer, so that you can get outside and enjoy a little extra sun.
What to expect in the hiring process
The process can vary from department to department, but when you apply to join our team, we commit to you:
- That your resume will be reviewed by a human
- The interview process will be laid out in the job description
- You’ll meet with enough people on our team to decide if we’re who you want to work with every day
- You’ll be kept informed about the process and where you stand
- You’ll receive thorough and timely answers to any questions you may have along the way
- After you meet with any member of our team, you’ll always be provided with feedback if you request it
- You’ll be treated with kindness and respect
