The people behind the scenes who make Sprillyous what it is — curious, driven, and obsessed with great content.
Sprillyous didn't start as a streaming platform. It started as an argument — a long, enthusiastic, borderline ridiculous argument about a film that nobody else in the room had seen. That argument turned into a shared frustration: the best content was buried under layers of algorithm-driven noise, and finding it felt like work.
A few months and a lot of late-night prototyping later, a small group of technologists, film enthusiasts, and data scientists in Montréal decided to build something different. Not another Netflix alternative. Not a review aggregator. A platform that genuinely understood the difference between what's trending and what's actually worth watching — especially for audiences in Canada.
Today, the team spans product engineering, content strategy, design, infrastructure, and creative direction. What hasn't changed is the core instinct: we watch what we recommend, we care about the experience from first pixel to final frame, and we build with the assumption that our users deserve better than "good enough."
We're a lean, cross-functional team. No sprawling org charts — just people with clear ownership and a shared commitment to the product.
The backbone of Sprillyous. Our engineers build and maintain the systems that power real-time content discovery, video embedding, user authentication, and platform performance across devices. They care deeply about latency, edge cases, and the subtle details that turn a "functional" app into a "fast" one.
Every hover state, every transition, every color choice — considered. Our design team works closely with engineering to ensure the interface feels native, not bolted on. They run user sessions, study interaction patterns, and ruthlessly cut anything that doesn't serve the viewer.
They watch a lot of movies. That's literally part of the job. But beyond that, the content team builds the logic behind our recommendations — identifying emerging titles, tracking Canadian audience preferences, and ensuring the platform always has something genuinely exciting to offer.
The quiet heroes. They make sure the platform runs smoothly at 3 AM on a Sunday, that data flows correctly between services, and that our analytics give the rest of the team the clarity they need to make smart decisions. Reliability isn't glamorous — but it's essential.
We ship features because they genuinely solve a problem for someone — not because a roadmap told us to. That philosophy keeps us honest and the product sharp.
Design isn't about making things pretty — it's about making things obvious. The best interface is the one you don't notice, because it just works exactly the way you expected it to.
Content curation is a craft. Anyone can pull a top-10 list off the internet. We want to know what people are actually going to watch on a Tuesday night in November — and that takes real research, not just data.
Nobody thinks about infrastructure until it breaks. My job is to make sure it never does — and when the unexpected happens, to make sure we recover faster than anyone would notice.
Every animation we add has to earn its place. A micro-interaction that delights takes maybe two extra lines of code — but the wrong one makes the whole experience feel sluggish. We obsess over that difference.
Canada has an incredible film and TV scene that gets overshadowed by Hollywood noise. Part of what we do here is make sure that doesn't happen — on our platform, at least.
Whether you're a viewer or a potential collaborator — we'd love to connect.
