Uppercut is a creative agency founded by a group of people who have a long history of producing award-winning marketing campaigns and successful websites. We’re currently engaged in client work and are developing several new online ventures, and we’re looking for talented, passionate people to join our growing team.

We’re a curious and collaborative bunch. We make great things – for ourselves and for our clients. And while we don’t agree on everything (which is good), we all believe Uppercut is a place that balances process with an innovative and open culture.

You love problem solving and spending your spare time hacking on cool new projects. We love your ideas, your energy and the fact that you want to make stuff.

Uppercut and Decoder are looking for a computer science (or related field of study) student to join our team and work as a web developer for a 14-week paid summer internship in Calgary.
