What does your interview process look like?
Our interview process is designed to help us get to know you, and for you to learn more about us! Please be patient as we review your application; every application is reviewed by a real person, not an algorithm. The interview process varies by role, but on average you can expect 3–5 conversations, which may include:
- A conversation with our People Team for a chance to ask questions and learn more about Photonic
- Discussions with technical leaders to explore your skills and experiences
- Meetings with potential team members & collaborators so you can get a feel for the people you’d work with
We aim to keep the process collaborative, transparent, and respectful of your time. Photonic is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’re building with the best—bringing together exceptional talent from around the world to deliver at scale. We embrace and celebrate differences, knowing they spark innovation and create stronger teams.
If you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please let us know. You can note this in the “Personal Summary” section of your application (preferred) or include it on your resume.
What if I don’t see a position I qualify for?
First, take a look at our current postings, there may be something closer than you think. At Photonic, we understand that everyone’s work and life journey is unique. If your experience is close to what we’ve described, even if you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. Our job descriptions are a guide, not a checklist, so if you’re unsure but have relevant experience, please apply!
If you don’t see a match, Register Your Interest to submit a speculative application and sign up for notifications when new roles become available. We actively review those applications and are always keeping our eye out for people who would be a great fit.
I am not located in Canada; can I still apply?
Yes, please apply! We welcome global talent. However, eligibility for remote work, relocation assistance, or work permit support is not guaranteed and varies by role. If you believe you’re a strong fit, please apply—our team will review your application accordingly.
Do you work with recruitment agencies?
While we appreciate your interest in helping grow our amazing team, we want to hear directly from applicants or through our official recruitment partners. All recruitment partnerships are formed directly with our People & Culture team. Please note that applications submitted by unsolicited or unapproved recruiters will not be considered.
