Remote developer work in Nova Scotia, on US teams

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

If you are a senior engineer in Nova Scotia 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

You join the engineering team of a US company and report to its technical leads. You take part in stand-ups, code reviews, planning and demos like anyone else on the team. Ryz works with Fortune 500 engineering teams and with fast-growing companies.

Nova Scotia is on Atlantic Time, one hour ahead of New York, and switches to daylight time on the same dates as the US. A 9-to-5 Eastern day runs 10 to 6 in Halifax.

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

Working from Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia has a close-knit tech community centred on Halifax, with strong computer science programs and a growing number of engineers working remotely for US teams.
