A pair of job postings from janitorial software producer Swept head up our Jobs of the Week column today.
Fresh with about C$2.5 million in new financing, Halifax-based Swept is growing and is looking for Directors of Customer Success and Project Management. Other posting on the Entrevestor Job Board this week include openings for a remote Software and Infrastructure Architect with St. John’s-based HeyOrca, and a Project Manager with Remsoft of Fredericton.
Swept has designed software that can help cleaners, bosses and clients communicate on a mobile device. Its goal is to help cleaning companies support their cleaners, not just check up on them.

HeyOrca, which announced a $2 million raise in May, has been gaining a lot of buzz lately because its monthly recurring revenue has been increasing rapidly. As of May, its customer base had increased 800 percent in the past year, adding 160 new businesses. The customers listed on its website include Saatchi & Saatchi, Microsoft Studios, Hilton Head Island and TheSocialDiner.
Remsoft produces software that analyzes a client’s forests. The age, size, growth rate and other aspects of trees are examined in order to predict the best times to do simple things like get logs to market or predict which of thousands of trees may fall and damage a power line. The company has been adding staff as it moves to the cloud.
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 start-up communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside.

St. John’s
HeyOrca
Software and Infrastructure Architect
What is HeyOrca?
As a developer, you have probably done some freelance or consulting work. The success of such project relies on effective communication between you, your team and the external stakeholders of the project by defining goals, deliverables, collaborating on work and communicating the results. Marketing agencies work similarly: they help tens and hundreds of clients with their marketing strategy and content; all with different deadlines and deliverables. HeyOrca is a web-based tool to make sense of this chaos: bringing the marketing team and their clients together in one place to communicate, create and deliver. Think of it as GitHub for marketing agencies.
The wise one
At HeyOrca, our 8-10 developers are creating numerous features and refactoring a great deal over multiple technology stacks and containers. Getting things done sometimes prevents us from having things well thought out. That's why we need an experienced person who knows the way and its pitfalls: the wise one.
That's where you come in. We are looking for a software architect who has seen teams and software scale and can align our team efforts with a software and infrastructure architecture and design that benefits HeyOrca and its customers.
This position is open to remote applicants. . . .
