SWIX is hiring!

Now’s your chance!

We’re a fun-sized team, young at heart, passionate, and set on blowing the doors off this new market forming around social media!

Being a smaller, new company, you really get to have an impact on the group’s success, and gain exposure to a lot of things you wouldn’t normally be allowed to touch in a larger more bureaucratic company. We’ve got a great work environment set up here in the trendy Byward Market, both because of the lifestyle the Market offers, plus the incredible people we’ve hired so far.

We currently have open:
