Our first Jobs of the Week column of the autumn showcases openings at three Halifax-area companies: a Senior Program Manager at Innovasea, a Product Marketing Associate at Dash Hudson and a Senior Software Engineer at Adaptiiv Medical Technologies.
Dash Hudson is a visual marketing Software-as-a-Service company that helps its clients increase engagement on their social media. Its software, called Vision, is a one-stop spot for clients to manage, source and engage with the traffic of their photos and videos.
Adaptiiv, which raised $3.4 million in equity financing earlier this year, has developed a system that 3D prints a bolus – a piece of plastic that is placed over the cancerous area in a patient undergoing radiation therapy. The radiation hits the bolus, builds up and is transferred into the tumour.
Innovasea designs technologically advanced aquatic solutions for fish tracking and fish farming, and builds them to withstand the toughest conditions. The company is initiating a major project aimed at developing and marketing the company’s next generation fish-tracking technology.
The Jobs of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and startup communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside.
