We are moving beyond 2D pixels to build models that natively understand the physics and geometry of our world. Our mission is to redefine how industries, from robotics and AR/VR to gaming and cinema, generate and interact with physically-grounded 3D environments. We are seeking a Chief of Staff to act as a force multiplier for our leadership team, elevating our operations to the next level and maximizing our team's efficiency.
