canadian-companies-qa-ats	Canadian companies — strong QA orgs and scrapable ATS	Reference list of Canadian tech employers with solid QA cultures and practical ATS endpoints for JobOps pipelines.	41

What it is

A curated reference of Canadian-headquartered or Canadian-heavy tech employers where QA / SDET / test automation is often a first-class function, together with scrapable ATS endpoints where they exist.

Tier 1 targets map cleanly to the shipped Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and SmartRecruiters extractors. Tier 2 entries need custom scraping, browser automation, or upstream quirks.

Verification: Tier 1 integrations below were probed successfully (HTTP 200, JSON where applicable). Posting counts change daily — re-run probes locally when you need exact volumes.

Why it exists

Canada-focused QA sourcing benefits from employer-direct ATS feeds (clean titles, real apply URLs) instead of only aggregator noise. This page maps recognizable brands to exact integration shapes so you can paste slugs into Settings or env without rediscovering URLs.

How to use it

Tier 1 — Public ATS APIs (shipped extractors)

Company	HQ	ATS	Endpoint / shape (reference)	JobOps wiring
Wealthsimple	Toronto	Ashby	GET https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/wealthsimple	Add wealthsimple to ashbyCompanies / ASHBY_COMPANIES.
1Password	Toronto (remote-first)	Ashby	.../job-board/1password	Add 1password.
Jobber	Edmonton / Toronto	Ashby	.../job-board/jobber	Add jobber.
Nylas	Toronto / SF	Ashby	.../job-board/nylas	Add nylas.
Hootsuite	Vancouver	Greenhouse	GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/hootsuite/jobs?content=true	Add hootsuite to greenhouseCompanies.
Faire	Waterloo / SF	Greenhouse	.../boards/faire/jobs?content=true	Add faire.
PointClickCare	Mississauga	Lever	GET https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/pointclickcare?mode=json	Add pointclickcare to leverCompanies.
Clio	Burnaby / Calgary / Toronto	Workday	POST https://clio.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/clio/ClioCareerSite/jobs (limit, offset, searchText)	Add https://clio.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ClioCareerSite to workdayTenants / WORKDAY_TENANTS.
Coveo	Quebec City / Montreal	SmartRecruiters	GET https://api.smartrecruiters.com/v1/companies/Coveo/postings	Add Coveo to smartrecruitersCompanies. API stays 200; totalFound may be zero between hiring waves.

Optional Ashby query parameter ?includeCompensation=true works in browsers and curl for richer payloads; the bundled Ashby extractor calls the same path without that query and still returns full job lists.

Example Settings JSON (merge with your existing lists):

["wealthsimple", "1password", "jobber", "nylas"]

["hootsuite", "faire"]

["pointclickcare"]

["https://clio.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ClioCareerSite"]

["Coveo"]

Tier 2 — Harder or custom surfaces

Company	HQ	ATS	Notes
Shopify	Ottawa / remote	Ashby (custom)	Hosted board / GraphQL (jobs.ashbyhq.com/api/non-user-graphql, organizationHostedJobsPageName: "shopify") or parse careers HTML — not covered by the slug-based Ashby extractor today.
Lightspeed Commerce	Montreal	Custom (often Cloudflare)	Careers HTML at https://www.lightspeedhq.com/careers/openings/ — browser or tolerant fetcher; no shipped extractor.
RBC Borealis	Toronto / Montreal	Greenhouse (embedded)	boards-api path rbcborealis returned 404 when probed — scrape https://rbcborealis.com/careers/ or rediscover the active board slug before using Greenhouse JSON.
Vidyard	Kitchener–Waterloo	JS-heavy site	https://careers.vidyard.com/ — Playwright/Puppeteer if automating.
Loblaw Digital	Toronto	Workday (parent)	Parent Workday host may need the correct site segment; careers marketing site often lists roles — browser-backed discovery may be more reliable than guessing CXS paths.

Ready-to-use CLI filters (QA-oriented titles)

Ashby (example: Wealthsimple):

curl -s 'https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/wealthsimple?includeCompensation=true' \
  | jq '.jobs[] | select(.title | test("QA|SDET|Test|Automation"; "i")) | {title, location, url: .jobUrl}'

Greenhouse (example: Hootsuite):

curl -s 'https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/hootsuite/jobs?content=true' \
  | jq '.jobs[] | select(.title | test("QA|SDET|Test|Automation"; "i")) | {title, location: .location.name, url: .absolute_url}'

Lever (PointClickCare):

curl -s 'https://api.lever.co/v0/postings/pointclickcare?mode=json' \
  | jq '.[] | select(.text | test("QA|SDET|Test|Automation"; "i")) | {title: .text, location: .categories.location, url: .hostedUrl}'

Workday (Clio — QA search text):

curl -s -X POST 'https://clio.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/wday/cxs/clio/ClioCareerSite/jobs' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"limit":50,"offset":0,"searchText":"QA"}' \
  | jq '.jobPostings[] | select(.title | test("QA|SDET|Test|Automation"; "i")) | {title, location: .locationsText}'

Other strong-QA Canadian employers (ATS not deep-verified here)

Worth manual checks or Eluta / LinkedIn cross-reference: Wattpad, Knix, Ada, Hopper, Plusgrade, D2L, Kinaxis, TELUS Digital / Mirum, Trulioo, OpenText / Hubdoc.

Common problems

• Ashby counts vs includeCompensation: Omitting the query param still returns jobs; compensation fields may be sparser.
• Greenhouse board slug drift: If boards-api returns 404, the employer may have renamed the board — inspect their careers page embed or HTML source for the current board id.
• SmartRecruiters zero postings: Still a valid integration; don’t treat empty arrays as a broken extractor.
