WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

If this sounds like you - or who you want to be - then include a few words with your application about who you are and what you want out of this position at Ross Video. Many of our current team members started their career as a co-op at Ross. What are you waiting for? We want to hear from you.

U.S. EXPORT ADMINSTRATION REGULATIONS

Ross Video complies with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, which place limits on sharing certain technologies and source code with individuals from countries under U.S. embargo.

How This Impacts Our Hiring…

As part of this compliance, we must consider a candidate’s citizenship and permanent residency when evaluating eligibility for roles that involve access to specific technologies. Due to these legal restrictions, we’re unfortunately unable to proceed with candidates whose current citizenship or permanent residency is in a country under U.S. embargo (currently Cuba, Iran, Syria, or North Korea).

We appreciate your understanding as we meet these important legal requirements.

At Ross, we embrace diversity, and we want you to bring your authentic self to work. We are committed to building a team that includes a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Inclusivity drives innovation and creativity, and that’s something we’re passionate about at Ross! We believe everyone should be able to enjoy a rewarding career at Ross, regardless of race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, age, veteran status, physical or mental disability. If a disability means that you need any additional support during the recruitment process, please contact Talent Acquisition and we will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.
