Systems & Graphics Engineer

About Parallelz:

Parallelz enables developers to instantly port their existing mobile apps/games to the web, without any SDKs, code changes, or engineering efforts. Developers can improve user acquisition, organic virality, create new revenue channels, and offer new user experiences and capabilities that were not possible before.  

With Parallelz, users can access mobile apps instantly, with lossless quality, at full performance, on any desktop or mobile device. The Parallelz platform enables this by transforming existing native mobile apps into fully-native web apps, in real-time, that can be instantly accessible on any browser.  Developers can now have a new frictionless way to reach their customers, free from the restrictions and taxations of the existing app stores. Through this technology, we’re blurring the boundaries between web, mobile and desktop applications.

Our founding team and advisors are serial entrepreneurs and technologists from Mozilla, MIT, and former founders of high-growth venture-backed startups. The company is joined by top-tier, global venture funds and angel investors.

We prefer to hire locally in Toronto for a hybrid work environment but are open to considering remote candidates from across Canada and are thus also posting this job in Montreal and Vancouver.
