leader in software as a service (SaaS). More companies trust their vital
customer and sales data to salesforce.com than any other on-demand

cramped San Francisco apartment 9 years ago to an organization with more
than 2,700 employees. For fiscal year 2008, we reported revenue of
approximately $748.7 million, an increase of 51 percent from fiscal
2007.

Why? We deliver integrated, customizable business applications for
companies ranging from small nonprofits to global enterprises. Or maybe
it's because Salesforce is so easy to learn and use. Or it could be
the unprecedented speed with which our customers see real, tangible ROI.

of our customers. In fact, more than 43,000 companies and 1,000,000
subscribers worldwide depend on Salesforce to manage their sales,
marketing, customer service, and other critical business functions. We

team at salesforce.com, the market leader in on-demand computing.

Hi there,

    Isn’t it about time you joined a company that really values your
    contribution? A company that is synonymous with innovation in the
    technical world? A company that is passionate about collaboration? A
    company that one of our developers described as “more of a game than a
    job.” Welcome to ThoughtWorks.

    We hire only the most passionate, talented people. This passion may
    manifest itself in a number of ways. You might be a vocal blogger,
    open-source committer, book-writer or conference-speaker. You might have
    a server farm in your garden shed. You might want to find new ways to
    deliver business value to your clients. You might just want to find out
    what working with like-minded people feels like, and see if that ignites
    your passion for IT again.

    We’ve been at the forefront of innovation on Java platform for a long
    time and have pioneered the use of Inversion of Control and Domain
    Specific Languages. We’ve made significant contributions to the Java
    Open Source community via projects like CruiseControl, JMock and
    XStream. But we’re also a Microsoft Gold Partner and our people provide
    thought-leadership to key Microsoft initiatives such as the Patterns and
    Practices effort. More recently we’ve been championing Ruby on Rails.
    Our Geek nights are full of passionate discussion about people’s latest
    interests; things like behaviour driven development, cloud computing and
    languages like Scala, Boo and Erlang.

    Add to this our focus on Agile delivery and you’ll start to see why
    working here is refreshingly different.

    We are a consultancy, so we can’t always promise that our customer sites
    are as relaxed as our own office space, with the natural light, snacks,
    Guitar Hero and all the caffeinated beverages you can manage. But we try
    to make customer work fun and are working with some of the biggest names
    in the Canadian market. Being a consultancy means there’s always the
    possibility of some travel. We do everything we can to make life here as
    easy as possible and always take people’s personal situations into
    account. We think it’s a small price to pay for the chance to work with
    us.

    We're currently hiring .Net developers, a Project Manager and testers to
    be based out our Calgary office. To find out more, please check out our
    corporate website
    http://www.thoughtworks.com/work-for-us/jobs/Canada-Job-Openings.html

    Because we staff projects across the whole of North America, while we
    hope that you would be based out of Calgary, roles can come with a
    significant amount of travel. Due to this travel often being to the US,
    we are currently only able to take applications from people who are
    Canadian citizens.

    Interested? Please send your resume to work@... or apply
    online. I'm also happy to answer any queries people may have. Looking
    forward to hearing from you.
