Transform cities from the ground up

A year into the pandemic I realized two things: first, my job could be done one hundred percent remotely forever, and second, that my employer could never allow that. I’ve always wanted to live in Colorado, and had spent significant time out west, so I began the arduous task of finding a new job. I hadn’t even thought of looking for a job in thirteen years; I had the opportunity to work with amazing people, and as a team overcome very interesting technological challenges, but it was time to move on. When I heard Ting was a Tucows business I felt a sense of nostalgia. I had downloaded plenty of windsock software for systems in the 90’s. The real excitement began as I dug deeper to understand the culture and business. Tucows is a people-first company, “we are good people doing good work”, and very early in the pandemic declared they would be a remote-first company forever. They have been dedicated to the free and open internet for over twenty five years and embrace equality and digital inclusion. All this resonated with me, and everyone I chatted with before I was hired was thoughtful, kind and and excited. When I was offered a job I jumped at the opportunity, and began looking for housing in Colorado. A year later we moved to Winter Park and are now living our dream in the high mountains!

I’ve been here almost two years and I know I have found my people. I didn’t even know I was looking for my people!
