About Tucows:
Tucows (NASDAQ:TCX, TSX:TC) is possibly the biggest Internet company you’ve never heard of. We started as a simple shareware site in 1993 and have grown into a stable of businesses; mobile, internet and domains.

We embrace a people-first philosophy that is rooted in respect, trust, and flexibility. We believe that whatever works for our employees is what works best for us. It’s also why the majority of our roles are remote-first, meaning you can work from anywhere you can connect to the internet!

Today, close to a thousand people work in over 16 countries to help us make the Internet better. If this sounds exciting to you, join the herd!

At Tucows we care about protecting the open Internet, narrowing the digital divide, and supporting fairness and equality.

Hover, our retail domain registration division, is where the Internet’s ideas find their names online. No gimmicks. No up-sells. Just easy domain and email management.
