About Parallelz
Parallelz is building a new platform for discovering and interacting with digital experiences — moving beyond the constraints of today’s app stores, mobile, and web conventions.
Our technology enables seamless, instant-access experiences across devices, unlocking entirely new ways for people to explore, share, and engage with content and applications.
This shift demands fresh thinking about user experience: new patterns, new interactions, and new mental models for how people navigate the digital world. It’s an opportunity to invent, not just iterate.
AI is woven into our platform — enabling new ways to power discovery, interaction, and experience across the product
Great design will be a fundamental differentiator of this new experience — not just in how it looks, but in how it feels and enables entirely new behaviors.
Our founding team includes industry veterans with deep experience in games, platforms, and venture-backed startups — including pioneers in game engine technology and consumer product design. We’re fortunate to be backed by leading games and consumer investors from Canada and Silicon Valley.
About the Role
We’re looking for a high-potential, creatively ambitious product designer to join us.
This is a contract role to start, with potential to evolve into a foundational full-time position — and for the right person, a path toward future design leadership at Parallelz.
You’ll work directly with me (Founder & CEO), shaping how users first experience this new paradigm. You’ll also define key design principles and culture as we grow.
We are Toronto-based and value in-person collaboration. This is a hybrid role with regular in-person work together.
Why This Is Unique
This isn’t a typical product design role — we are building a new category of experience, drawing on the best ideas from leading social platforms and beyond, while inventing new interaction models for this unique context. You’ll be shaping what this future looks and feels like.
For the right designer, it’s an opportunity to shape the productization of years of deep R&D and define the future of web and mobile experiences as we bring this platform to market.
