It all started on a bus. An election campaign bus.
Through his experience providing mobile connectivity for election campaigns, Dejero founder Bogdan Frusina witnessed first-hand the challenges that journalists faced reporting live from the field. He knew there was a better way.
Building a team with a passion for innovation and a drive to persevere, he set about developing and commercializing a portable and wireless live video broadcast solution. In November 2009, that vision came to life. Dejero enabled the world’s first live transmission of the torch relay across Canada for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Since then, we’ve evolved into a world-leading wireless telecommunications aggregator, providing resilient, uninterrupted internet connectivity vital for critical communications. Broadcasters, production companies, first responders, defense departments, and government agencies put their trust in Dejero.
Here’s how you help us continue our story...
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Specialist to join our DevOps team. This individual is responsible for developing, deploying and maintaining Dejero’s high-availability, reliable, and scalable cloud infrastructure using the latest technologies and tools.

- If you aren’t growing, we aren’t growing. You will have the opportunity to develop your own career path with support from your manager and the People + Culture team.
- If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that work-life balance is extremely important. As we find our new normal, our employees are able to choose their preferred work environment; home, work or hybrid.
- We are home to an award-winning culture, products, and teams. This year, Great Place to Work ranked us 5th Best Place to Work in Canada! We have also won two Emmys for our Smart Blending Technology.
- Giving back is a key pillar of our culture. Last year, Dejero and its employees contributed thousands of dollars to 12 local and international charities.
