The average Klue team member takes 2-4 weeks of PTO per year.\n\n\n\n\n$150,000 - $180,000 a yearWe gather compensation benchmarking data across the BC & Canadian Tech Industry and use that data to build a range for our current team and future talent.  Your exact salary is determined by experience level, skill, capabilities, whether or not you select options, and internal pay parity.\nIf you feel like this role is a great fit and have questions about comp, get in touch and we’re happy to discuss further.

Reach out and let’s see if there is a home here for you now or in the future.\n\n\nWe’ve made a commitment to support and contribute to a diverse environment; on our teams and in our community. We’re early in our journey; we've started employee led resource groups, committed to Pay Up For Progress, and use success profiles for roles instead of 'years of experience'.
