Verdict
Kano is a legitimate, bootstrapped, profitable Canadian independent gaming studio headquartered in Victoria BC (downtown Victoria). They are remote-first and hire only BC residents. The apply URL uses Greenhouse EU instance (job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/kano), which is a legitimate ATS. The location field shows 'British Columbia, British Columbia' which is somewhat generic but consistent with their remote-BC policy. Salary ($140,000–$200,000) is on the high end for Kano (their posted dev roles are typically $82k–$102k), which merits a slight score increase, but staff architect is a senior IC role that could command higher comp.
