BIMM is booming, so we're looking for Four talented Front-End Developer Interns to join our team for four months, starting May 5th, 2025.

Who we are

BIMM is a Toronto-based agency, we turned 45 years old recently, that lives at the intersection of data, technology, and creativity to provide clients with high-performing campaigns and digital products that shape connected customer experiences.
