Description
We are looking for an ambitious, highly motivated, and passionate Junior Product Developer to join our in-house “Own Brand” Design Centre team at Footasylum. We are home to multiple brands across men’s, women’s, kid’s, and accessories.
This role gives great opportunity to the right candidate to work on Footasylum’s “own brands” such as Zavetti Canada, KWD, Alessandro Zavetti, and many more.
The Team
We are a rapidly growing team of diverse, talented individuals with a passion for all things fashion. Our aim is to help create an environment where you can achieve, progress, and develop. You will be supported in your journey, and we will celebrate your progression with you.

About You

You should be self-motivated and have good time management with the ability to adapt and work to tight deadlines and deliver results within specified time frames.
