Parsec creates ultra-low latency, high-performance remote desktop technology that empowers creative professionals to work from anywhere, businesses to embrace flexible workplaces, and individuals to play together from anywhere. We're growing so that we can help leaders in gaming, entertainment, engineering, and architecture build the things we love, whether they're in the office or working from home. Parsec is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity.

Parsec is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our small but talented native team, working on our low latency game streaming app. The Parsec app is the foundation of everything we’ve accomplished as a company, and the product our customers use and love daily.

Jump into a C codebase on day one and confidently deploy code to more than 5 million people
Be fascinated with building cutting edge technology in gaming from video rendering to UDP protocols
Be obsessed with finding the right, low latency solution to the challenges we face
Listen to customer feedback, interpret the needs of the broader community, and find opportunities to delight our customers

What we're looking for

Hands-on experience working in a production C codebase.
Familiarity with macOS app development (e.g., IOKit, CoreGraphics, window/input management) and shipping native apps on macOS.
Familiarity with Windows desktop application development.
A deep desire to learn, improve a product, and make customers happy.
Experience working with a globally distributed team.

You might also have (optional)

Familiarity with Linux/Ubuntu app development
