About Goosechase
What is Goosechase?
Goosechase is a Toronto-founded interactive experiences platform that lets organisations design and run scavenger-hunt-style "Experiences" for team-building, onboarding, education, recreation, tourism and conferences. Created online and played in the real world, the platform lets creators build mission-based games on a desktop Experience Manager, while participants take part via the free iOS and Android apps. The company's about page describes the long-term vision as becoming "the interactive experience platform that allows people to engage, educate, and activate communities through unforgettable experiences."
The idea originated in 2011 at a hackathon in Waterloo, Canada, and according to the company's own story Goosechase has since grown to "thousands of customers; from Fortune 100 companies to educational institutions, cities, charities, museums and festivals," with customers spanning 44 countries and Missions created in over 10 languages.
Where will I work?
Goosechase is a 100% remote company. The live careers landing redirects to apply.workable.com/goosechase/; the about page describes the team as "Spread across the map and constantly flying into different timezones, but all on the same page," and the company values explicitly state: "As a 100% remote flock, we trust each other to do our best work whenever it works best for us through openness and honesty." Public team profiles on the about page mention team members from cities including London, with senior leaders working remotely across multiple time zones.
What is the Goosechase team like?
The public team breakdown on /about lists 24 people across Product Development (12), Revenue (8) and Operations (3). Founder & CEO Andrew Cross is described as "a huge advocate of remote work & obsessed with creating the perfect distributed team culture." Named leaders include Alyshahn Kara (Chief Revenue Officer), Vasanth Nagasivam (VP of Product Development, London-based), Alex Stylianoudis (VP of Legal & Finance), Katie Canton (Head of Brand Experience) and a senior engineering bench led by Jamie Hale (Principal Infrastructure & Security Engineer), Radu Sepetan (Lead Software Engineer), Attila Hegedüs (Lead iOS Engineer) and Harmony Mahaffy (Senior Mobile Engineer). The company's ethos is summed up in five values: trust each other, put people before profit, pay attention to the details, always seek to improve, and "play[ful] and a little weird."
Work-Life Balance
The /about page is explicit: "Surfing in the middle of a Wednesday? A 4-day week and fully remote team means our flock fits work around their lives, and not the other way around." This sits alongside a "We put people before profit" value statement: "Work-life balance is at the core of our culture because we know that there's a lot of fun to be had off the clock... We take the time to recharge, so we have even more energy to put into building a great product."
Goosechase is independently funded — "Bootstrapped, profitable and committed to giving back to the community. Three pillars that show we intend to be here for the long haul" — which the team frames as the reason they can keep listening to customers and growing thoughtfully "instead of rapidly."
Perks and Benefits
The live Workable board at apply.workable.com/goosechase currently shows no open roles. When roles do open, the most authoritative benefits source is each individual JD on Workable; the public /about page confirms 4-day week, 100% remote, work-life-balance-first culture, and a bootstrapped-profitable funding profile. Prospective candidates should monitor the Workable board for current openings and full benefits.
