Behind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public broadcaster.

Created to align, lighten and modernize infrastructure, T&I is the backbone and the future-forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections; between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.

A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly-regarded pioneer of media technology. Not just in Canada, but around the world. Today, we're transforming ourselves from a conventional radio and television broadcaster into a modern digital media company. Technology is the driving force and T&I is the team making it happen.

This is a hybrid role with a mix of in-office and remote work. Work arrangements will be discussed with hiring managers per departmental guidelines.
