Remote developer work in Alberta, on US teams

Ryz Labs places senior engineers in Alberta on US companies’ teams. Here is what to know before you apply.

If you are a senior engineer in Alberta and want to work on a US company’s team, Ryz Labs makes the connection. You work remotely, on US business hours, like anyone else on the team.

What the work is like

Day to day, you work with one US company’s team: the same tools, the same backlog and the same technical leads. You join planning, review code and present your work in demos. The teams Ryz works with include Fortune 500 engineering teams.

Alberta is on Mountain Time, the same clock as Denver, and switches to daylight time on the same dates as the US. New York is two hours ahead, so a 9 a.m. Eastern stand-up is at 7 a.m. in Calgary; California is one hour behind.

Teams expect senior engineers to raise risks early, scope their own work and keep stakeholders informed without being asked.

Working from Alberta

Alberta has a fast-growing tech sector, with a strong AI research community in Edmonton and a startup and energy-tech scene in Calgary.

How the selection process works

  1. Apply. You apply through the Join the team page with your experience and main stack.
  2. AI-assisted technical interview. A structured technical conversation about your real experience. People make the decisions, not the AI.
  3. Interviews with Ryz recruiters. They go deeper into your experience, how you work and how you communicate.
  4. Introduction to the team. When a team matches your profile, we introduce you. The last step is a final interview with that team.

The bar is high: only the top 1% of the tens of thousands of engineers we interview make it onto a team.

FAQ

Do I need to live in Calgary or Edmonton?

No. The work is remote: anywhere in Alberta works, as long as you have a solid connection and are available during US business hours.

How do Mountain Time hours work with US teams?

You sit between both coasts: two hours behind New York and one hour ahead of California, which makes overlap with either side manageable.

What kinds of companies will I work with?

US companies across industries, from growth-stage startups to Fortune 500 engineering teams.

Which hours will I work?

US business hours, with the overlap each team needs. Where you are in Canada shapes how your day lines up with East or West Coast teams.

Do I need to relocate or get a US visa?

No. You work remotely from Alberta. What you need is a solid connection, a quiet place for meetings and availability during US business hours.

Do you work with junior engineers?

Ryz works mainly with senior engineers: people who have shipped systems to production and can work independently on a US team.
