About Mawari
Mawari makes cloud rendering and streaming technologies to enable exceptionally high-quality augmented reality deployments. We believe that the next era of the Internet will be experienced through XR [extended reality] devices and we are building some of the key underlying technologies required to power that evolution.
We are an expanding startup funded by global investors, and we have a deeply technical team of experts dotted around the world. The Canadian branch of our team, where this posting will be located, works out of an office conveniently situated in the Accelerator Centre just north of the University of Waterloo’s main campus.
Vision
At Mawari, we believe the next era of the Internet will be experienced through XR devices. It represents a fundamental and pivotal change on how we work, socialize and learn today. To power the next generation of the Internet and drive mainstream adoption, we need to meet or surpass the scale and quality of service we have in today’s Internet. In order to achieve this, a new infrastructure and technology stack needs to be built and integrated. To make this a reality we are building The Mawari Network. We also believe this new infrastructure should be a public good.
What We Are Building
The Mawari Network is a decentralized 3D and XR content delivery platform that breaks the bottlenecks of infrastructure supply for real-time rendering, and the lack of local compute power on XR devices. We do this by orchestrating a decentralized network of GPU-powered nodes that run the Mawari Engine, a proprietary technology stack that allows to render interactive 3D content and stream it efficiently in real-time to mobile XR devices at scale. We believe Web3 principles in conjunction with our core technology will accelerate the scalability of the Mawari Network.
Why work with us
Mawari is a pioneer in cloud rendering and streaming technologies. Our core technology has been validated in the market through repeated success in the XR industry with over 40+ deployments to date worldwide. We have strong world-class partnerships with the most influential companies in the XR / metaverse industry. Mawari’s founding team is visionary, seasoned, and balanced. We have kept the company self-funded and post-revenue since 2017. Mawari has recently completed a successful funding round from world-class investors for the expansion of its core technology team. Come join us to make a difference by building a public good and defining the future of the internet.
