About Mawari
Join the Revolution: Shape the Future of XR with Mawari
Imagine being part of a pioneering team that's transforming the internet, communication, and entertainment as we know it. Welcome to Mawari, a trailblazing company at the forefront of the XR (Extended Reality) revolution. We're not just building a new technology - we're creating a new, complete delivery infrastructure for the next generation of the internet.
The Opportunity
XR is a game-changer, and we're leading the charge with two enabling technologies. First, our proprietary Mawari Engine technology stack provides low latency, high quality streaming to end user devices - the press has called it ‘the MP3 of XR’ and ‘The Multibillion Dollar CODEC”. Second, our decentralized 3D & XR content delivery platform, The Mawari Network, is breaking down barriers and enabling seamless, real-time XR experiences. Powered by the Mawari Engine and leveraging community-based computation globally, The Mawari Network is a global infrastructure that functions a bit like a global digital cooperative.
We're looking for talented individuals to join us on this mission.
By joining our team, you'll be part of a small, agile, and innovative company that's poised to disrupt the status quo. We're not beholden to legacy systems or traditional thinking - we're free to experiment, innovate, and push the boundaries of what's possible.
Our Vision
We're on a mission to democratize access to XR, empowering developers and creators around the world to build awe-inspiring immersive experiences that inspire, educate, and entertain.
