About the role

Senior macOS Swift Software Developer

Push the boundaries of tech. In your sweatpants.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior macOS Swift Software Developer to help us change the way the world works, with Parallels: anytime, anywhere, any-device productivity. Here, you’ll develop cutting edge graphics virtualization technology with our Parallels team.

The top creative and technical minds could work anywhere. So why are so many of them choosing Corel? Here are three reasons:

This is the moment. It’s an exciting time at Corel, with new leadership, a refreshed brand, and a whole new approach to changing the way the world works. We’re at the forefront of a movement, and we want you to ride this wave with us.

We want you to be you. Too often, companies tell you about their culture and then expect you to fit it. Our culture is built from the people who work here. We want you to feel safe to be who you are, take risks, and show us what you’ve got.

It’s your world. We know you have a life. We want to be part of it, but not all of it. At Corel, we’re serious about empowering people to work when, how, and where they want. Couch? Sweatpants? Cool with us. We believe that happy employees mean happy customers. That’s why we hire amazing people and get out of their way.

Sound good so far? Awesome. Let’s talk more about this role and see if we’re destined to be together.
