Almost all of our long term customers are instantly recognisable global brands developing some of the most interesting products and services you are using today and will use in the future. Our expertly crafted software underpins many of today’s amazing customer experiences. When you join us, you’ll be both challenged and supported, and you’ll be a part of something extraordinary.

• Ideas are prioritised over Hierarchy and Biases – in Mobica you are listened to and valued. We are building open communication and a safe environment. We’ve made it our mission to create a working environment where all team members feel welcome, protected from discrimination and have access to equal opportunities.

• We believe that employees should be happy – Mobica is a place where talented minds are recognised, nurtured and valued. We are early adopters of the hybrid working practices, you define the way where you work more productive – at home or in the office – we will create the environment for that. In addition to the competitive salary you are getting access to a range of virtual, offline and on-site events and platforms where you can learn, brainstorm, challenge, express yourself or simply have some fun and get new friends.  Fruit and snacks are in the office to make your mood good.

We would like to invite you to join a newly formed Scrum team that needs more developers onboard. We work for our Customer who specialize in safety critical graphics solutions. Customer’s engineering team operates in Toronto.

The project is about porting Vulkan drivers (low level driver interaction with the GPU and the Vulkan framework) to GPU variants so that H.264/H.265 video streaming services can be integrated and operate using those GPUs. You will gain the experience working on differentiating technology that exploits GPU processing capability.

You will work on developing driver that supports Vulkan interaction with a GPU, integrate H.264/H.265 with that driver and finally support testing of the code.

Initially you will report directly to a Customer’s PM, but long term work for a Mobica PM as the team ramps up.
