Why join Relic?
Relic offers an extended benefits package, RRSP/DPSP matching program (subject to eligibility requirements), local business discounts, and annual paid holiday studio closure. We put a huge priority on mental and physical wellbeing: each Relican has access to an annual Health and Wellness Spending Account, as well as an Employee and Family Assistance Program providing access to resources and support around mental health, financial wellbeing, family care, elder care, and more. We believe that your home office should be just as comfortable as our studio, and we provide each new hire with a Work From Home Allowance to upgrade your at-home setup.
