Why join us?

For two decades, we’ve been developing qualities and capabilities for adapting, reacting, and supporting change – building Reaktor to hold up in a fast-paced environment while ensuring the well-being of our people.

While working at Reaktor, we’ll provide you with

An opportunity to work with our DefSec’s internal IT team to ensure our consultants have access to secure and efficient environments. Your work directly supports our critical security-focused software projects.

The ability to impact how you work. Together with your team, you choose the approach, technologies, and methodologies you think will work best in any given situation.

A community with as much support as your heart desires.

A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well – they all want you to succeed.

Career development, helping you develop your skills further through guidance and/or courses, and giving you the opportunity to explore your career interests.

A sustainable work-life balance and support for your daily life outside of work. (e.g., free moving day, Reaktor car share, sick child care services, office space to use for your private events, etc.).

Many different hobby clubs, from winter swimming and running to knitting and archery, that bring people together outside of (and sometimes inside) office hours. Many of these are supported by Reaktor

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Together, we are committed to making Reaktor an environment that embraces and values all of our employees for the whole of who they are. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply, knowing that studies show that members of underrepresented communities don’t apply for jobs unless they fully satisfy all of the requirements. If you're thinking twice about applying for this reason, we invite you to send us your application anyway. You could be just the person we're looking for.
