## About the role

We are looking for a founding Staff Engineer to lead the technical architecture of our next-generation Spatial Platform. For the past decade, floor plans have been static images; we are rebuilding that foundation from the ground up as a high-performance, interactive, and collaborative 3D engine. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience building complex, customer-facing web applications or high-performance graphics engines
- Mastery of Web Technologies: JavaScript fundamentals (scoping, closures, contexts, prototypes, classes, etc.) and React expertise (common state and data libraries like React Query, Zustand, etc.)
- CS Fundamentals: A degree in Computer Science or a related field, with strong intuition for data structures, memory management, and linear algebra
- Eye for Detail: Pixel-perfect execution — you notice the half-pixel misalignment, the 16ms jank, the easing curve that feels "off." You hold a high bar for visual polish and won't ship until interactions feel right
- Product Grit: Ability to bridge the gap between CAD-level precision and consumer-grade UX, partnering closely with Design to turn rough specs into delightful, production-grade experiences
- Mathematical Precision: Understanding of coordinate system conversions, geospatial projections, and 3D geometry
