BlackBerry
29 open jobsGeneral information
BlackBerry operates two divisions focused on security and critical communications and embedded systems, based in Waterloo, Canada. Products include end-to-end encrypted communications, zero-trust identity control solutions, and the QNX real-time operating system for embedded systems. QNX software runs in more than 275 million vehicles worldwide.
BlackBerry began as Research In Motion (RIM), a Canadian company that launched its first device, a two-way pager, in 1999. RIM later renamed itself BlackBerry Limited. Its phones pioneered QWERTY keyboards and push email, and the company had 85 million subscribers at its peak in September 2011. In 2016, BlackBerry announced it would stop designing its own devices and license the brand instead. That matters: BlackBerry moved from making phones to selling security and embedded software, which is why it now builds systems like QNX instead of phones. Historically, the median salary is ~$129,937. BlackBerry is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1

- 1. Company description. Written by InterviewOS from BlackBerry's public materials and press coverage; facts are checked against the sources below.
- 2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
- 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on BlackBerry's own hiring system; last check October 28, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
- 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of BlackBerry's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
