Due to significant growth within our Canadian Federal and Provincial customers, such as Province of British Columbia, Communication Security Establishment (CSE) and Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG), we have decided to hire our first AE in Canada dedicated to public sector. This is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to build the Canadian Public Sector market!
