- We offer private healthcare and a monthly wellbeing allowance of $90 to spend on whatever makes you feel good (whether that be a gym membership, a meal out, or a treatment of some kind)
- Everyone gets 6 days per year to focus on their own professional development, and a $925 budget to go along with that too.
- We invest heavily in communication and connection through weekly mailers, and an intentional meeting cadence. We also organise and cover the cost of annual team gatherings in Ontario, and we'll also fly you to the UK once a year to connect in person with the wider team (if you're up for it)
- Not all benefits come in the form of traditional ‘perks'. At Substrakt, we place a strong emphasis on building the right team structure and workflows, so everyone knows what they're accountable for and can focus on doing their best work
- All team members have the opportunity to participate in our steering groups which aren't just ‘nice to haves' - they help everyone stay curious and influence the way Substrakt approaches things like Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Internal Culture, Accessibility, AI, and Sustainability
