Working at Canlis
We’re honored you are interested in joining our team. To help that process, we recommend you read most of this entire website to figure out what makes us tick. We recommend thinking about how working here will help you become more of who you want to become, not what you want to become. We recommend taking the advice of your mother — whatever it was she said, try to remember — it’s going to help you get a job here.
To apply, please send a resume and cover letter to Anthea Gundersen at work@canlis.com.

You Matter
It might be different here from the last place you worked. Canlis is a place where employees are nurtured and grown. The standards here aren’t any lower and the job is not any easier. We just don’t compromise one another for the sake of getting our work done. It’s not cool, and it turns out to be super counterproductive. We hire learners and we are learners ourselves. There is a humility inherent to this approach and we want you to have this…or at least to desperately want to have this. It is a requirement for employment.
Benefits
Employees have the option of enrolling in Canlis’ insurance policy after working for 60 days, at least 30 hours a week. Canlis offers medical, vision, dental, and life insurance. The cost of insurance is covered 75% by Canlis for the employee, 75% covered for any dependents, and 0% covered for spouses.
Canlis offers all staff members a 401k program that matches 75% up to 8% of your pay. This is awesome. Ask around.
