CAREERS AT THREESHIELD

Join ThreeShield
Real Cybersecurity. Meaningful Work.

ThreeShield is a Calgary-based cybersecurity firm where every team member works on real security challenges - from SMB to Fortune 50 scale. We mentor toward CISSP and CISA credentials, provide genuine flexibility, and operate under B-Corp standards that put people before profits.

Life at ThreeShield

A short look at who we are and what it's like to work here.

Our Philosophy

Treat People as People

Our founders intentionally built a culture that avoids the problems we experienced as numbers in large accounting, government, and Fortune 50 organizations. Flexible work environment, interesting projects, and respectful management are why our staff consistently say they're happier here than friends in the corporate world.

We hold ourselves to B-Corp standards and have made legal commitments to sustain our "people before profits" culture - including providing free security awareness training to schools, seniors, and community organizations.

Provide Real Security

Most IT support shops say they do cybersecurity. When you dig deeper, few have CISSP or CISA credentials, or staff with experience improving security for governments and Fortune 50 companies. ThreeShield digs through vulnerabilities, constantly improves our approach, and customizes what we do for each client - not cookie-cutter compliance checklists.

When you join ThreeShield, you'll work on challenges spanning SMB healthcare to hyperconverged enterprise infrastructure, from bitumen mines to rockets.
