Careers
Sensium trains sharper grape calls under pressure for somm-track students, exam candidates, and serious enthusiasts. We sweat the details that make hard skills stick — confusion-pair separators, decision-rule compares, evidence-first deduction, and a 1,534-variety catalog with editorial integrity.
We're a small, craft-driven product company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The mission is durable: turn the messy art of blind tasting into a daily-practice tool that actually moves the needle on exam day and on the floor. We ship across iOS, Android, and the web with shared logic at the core — premium-quality engineering, premium-quality editorial, and a tone that respects the reader's time.
Current openings
We hire selectively when a specific role opens. Until then, proactive applications go onto our standing bench so we know exactly who to reach out to first.
If you read the rest of this page and think “I would be great at this,” please send your CV anyway. Every application is read carefully, and the strongest move onto our standing bench for when openings come up. Honest framing beats job-board theater every time.
Where we'd love to hear from you
Send a CV any time, even if there's nothing currently posted. Mention which of these areas feels like home — and what you'd want to ship first.
Working sommeliers, exam-track candidates and graduates, wine educators, and tasting-room curators. We care most about people who can argue about separators between Riesling and Grüner Veltliner with the same intensity they bring to argue about a dossier's editorial voice. If you've worked behind a floor somm program or run a tasting curriculum, we want to talk.
iOS (Swift / SwiftUI), Android (Kotlin / Compose), Kotlin Multiplatform shared logic, Next.js / TypeScript for the web, Firebase / Cloud Functions on the backend. We optimize for deterministic behavior, tiny dependency footprints, and the kind of cross-platform parity that lets a single shared engine drive identical UX on three clients. Generalists welcome.
Mobile-first interaction design with strong opinions about typography, motion restraint, and the difference between a quiet note and a critical warning. Sensium ships an emphasis ladder (quiet → neutral → diagnostic → critical) across native and web; designers who can extend it gracefully under stress are the right fit.
Wine-trade-native growth marketers, content strategists, and partnership operators. We'd rather invest in long-form quality (editorial dossiers, the methodology site, exam-cycle launches) than performance ad spend. If that thesis resonates, we'd love to talk.
Editors with wine-trade depth who can audit confusion-pair separators for tactical correctness, prune over-templated dossiers, and keep the catalog's tone consistent across 1,534 varieties. Generalist editors who can hold a brand voice also welcome.
Trust-and-safety, billing operations, support response, App Store / Play Console compliance, and analytics ops. The kind of person who can turn an angry email into a calmer customer and a fix in the next build.
How we work
Sensium is built around a few non-negotiables. Read these as the baseline you should be excited to operate inside.
About the team
Honest framing about how Sensium operates today — so you know what you'd be joining.
Equal opportunity
Every CV gets read. We respond to as many as we can; please don't read silence as a no — sometimes it just means we're heads-down on a release.
Sensium is an equal-opportunity workplace. We evaluate applications on craft, judgment, and fit with the values above — not on background, identity, or any protected characteristic. Applications from underrepresented backgrounds in the wine trade and in software are especially welcome.
Send a CV, a portfolio link, or a short note about what you'd want to ship at sensium.wine@hotmail.com. If you have a question about Sensium itself first, our support page is the right starting point.
