Salary

Company Description

Pre-seed spatial AI startup building foundation models for the physical world

Job Description

You will join as a founding hire at a SF-based startup building AI that understands 3D space natively. You will own the end-to-end experience—designing complex interaction patterns for spatial data and shipping production code in TypeScript and React. This is a high-ownership role shaping the product's 0-to-1 trajectory.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

• Rare opportunity to define the interface for a foundation model that processes 3D space the way LLMs process language.
• High-stakes ownership as a founding member where your design calls and code deployments directly shape the product's identity.
• Join an elite technical team in San Francisco focused on solving one of the most difficult remaining challenges in AI perception.
  
  

What You Will Do

• Design and build the end-to-end platform experience, from spatial data interfaces to accessible developer APIs.
• Prototype and implement 3D visualization tools that help engineers and operators reason about complex physical environments.
• Work directly with founders to iterate on product-market fit, moving from initial concept to production-ready features rapidly.
  
  

The ideal candidate

• Proven experience as a product-minded engineer with 6 years in SaaS, capable of moving seamlessly between Figma and VS Code.
• Strong technical foundations in TypeScript and React, paired with a portfolio demonstrating mastery over complex, data-heavy workflows.
• Startup-ready mindset with a preference for high ambiguity and a desire to wear multiple hats across design and engineering.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
