Colony provides Business Networking services to major telecom carriers like Telus, Cogeco and Rogers. We've been referred to as the "Business" behind Business Internet... and it's true.

That's what we do today.
With a vision to innovate further and expand internationally, Colony is now laying the foundation for additional growth and to further embrace IoT applications, machine learning and network automation. The successful candidate will be tasked with prototyping and extending upon our existing platform to build out new feature sets that work with our existing complex data pipelines, APIS, and other backend resources..
