Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment — PlayStation Global

You'll be supervising apprentices, stagehands, a design team and sound supervisors to create great sound for PlayStation games.
In this role, you'd be supervising the sound design for multiple titles at once, so you'll need to be organized and confident managing several teams.

Accountant
Salary: $65 to $75 an hour, 40 hours per week
Company: Recrute Action, Inc.
Location: Montreal, QC
Who Should Apply: Bilingual Canadians with a related Bachelor's degree and 5 or more years of experience are a good fit for this job in accounting.

Dental Hygienist
Salary: $100,000 to $130,000
Company: Personnel Dentaire S.E.N.C.
Location: Montreal, QC (with a twist)
Who Should Apply: This lower-level dentistry position pays surprisingly well despite only requiring a DEC in dental hygiene. If you have that qualification, you'll know what is expected of you in any clinic. No English is required for this job, which involves relocating to Lausanne, Switzerland, near the bustling cities of Western Europe. It comes with an 18-month optionally extendable contract, so this could be a tooth-brusher's dream — think of it like an exchange semester, but it's your entire life. Sounds pretty neat, right?
This job also offers 4 to 5 weeks of paid vacation, so you can really make the most of your relative proximity to European capitals such as Berlin, Paris and Rome.
Lead Software Developer
Salary: $100,000 or more
Company: Intrado

Who Should Apply: This is a senior role, good for a developer with at least eight years of programming experience and one or more years of experience leading a team. You'll be working with graphic interfaces in .NET using WPF, GitHub, JavaScript, NodeJS and React. If those words mean something to you, you're on the right track. You'd be primarily responsible for making sure software features translate into technical requirements, and you'd be the product liaison in all regular meetings.
This role can be primarily remote, with only one or two days in the office per week.
Certified Construction Estimator
Salary: $100,000 or more
Company: Réno Montreal.ca

Bilingual people with five to ten years of experience in renovation, with a valid driver's license, are on the right track for this job. You should have studied some type of building-related field in school, from architecture to design or more. A good understanding of wooden construction is a plus, as is five years of experience working with residential construction.
Applicants should be confident communicating with clients and detail-oriented when it comes to construction features.
