HeadofEngineering

Parallelz is building a new technology platform that enables new ways of delivering, discovering, and extending mobile applications, ways that were never thought possible. We allow developers to, with no modifications to their code, transform existing mobile apps into web-native apps that can run anywhere, all without a walled garden app store. You will be getting in at a pivotal stage, owning the technical strategic roadmap, building a world-class technical team, and working in a small, agile, flat organization to evolve our R&D initiatives into a live, scaled operational platform that will have an impact across the industry. As Head of Engineering, you will lead a small, senior team of graphics, systems, and platform engineers building deeply technical infrastructure: browser-native runtimes, GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines, low-latency streaming, and the cloud backbone behind it. You will own the technical roadmap end-to-end and partner closely with the CEO to translate product priorities into clear architectural direction. Parallelz is an AI-native organization. We are not looking for a leader who tolerates AI tooling. We are looking for one who runs on it. You should already think of agentic systems and LLM-based tooling as a core part of how you architect, ship, debug, and review software, and you should be able to push that culture and discipline through an entire engineering team. Our founding team and advisors are serial entrepreneurs and technologists from Google, Mozilla, MIT Media Labs, and other top organizations. The company is joined by top-tier and global venture funds and angel investors. ### ### Key Responsibilities * Own the architectural design and technical roadmap end-to-end across the product and our cloud-based infrastructure, partnering closely with the CEO to translate business and product priorities into clear technical direction while ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency. * Lead and grow a small, senior team of engin
