SwitchGate has been helping teams keep every model behind one governed API since 2026. Grow with us, help build an exceptional gateway, and have a bit of fun along the way.
Day in the life
How we work
- 01
We enjoy the journey
Yes, we want to build the best gateway in the world, but how we get there matters. Tokens move at 800 a second; people don't have to.
- 02
The best idea wins
Ideas are judged on reasoning, not on who said them. The kill switch started as a support-ticket rant.
- 03
We ship in small, safe steps
The only way to route a trillion tokens is one well-tested release at a time. Big things, small diffs, honest changelogs.
- 04
Honest numbers, inside too
Transparent salaries, printed fees, and postmortems without blame. If we publish exact costs for customers, we can handle exact truths with each other.
- 05
Bilingue par défaut
Standup happens in whichever language starts it. Half the team switches mid-sentence; the gateway was raised the same way.
The perks
What's in it for you
Flexibility
- 🏡Work where you work best — at home or in the Mile End office, you decide.
- 🕙Outcome-based, not clock-watched. Ship well, live your life.
- 🗺️Remote-friendly across Canadian time zones, with quarterly on-sites in Montréal.
Wellness
- ☀️Four weeks of vacation to start, growing with tenure, plus your birthday off.
- 😊Health and dental coverage from day one, for you and your family.
- 🥟Regular (voluntary) team socials. The poutine budget is not a budget cap.
The non-negotiables
- 👀Transparent salary bands, published internally.
- 📈Stock options for every employee, first hire to last.
- 🐣Enhanced parental leave, tops up the QPIP.
- 🎛️A personal API budget for side projects — with a kill switch, obviously.

Community
Small team, wide open internet
Routing the world's models takes people who think about the world. We're eight humans (and one cat) speaking two languages across three cities, and we celebrate our similarities as much as our differences. Respect and integrity aren't values on a poster; they're how the ledger stays honest.
