About World Labs

World Labs is a spatial intelligence company, building frontier models that can perceive, generate, and interact with the 3D world. Backed by NEA and a16z.

About the role

We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer who will build and ship new products powered by frontier spatial models. You'll work at the edge of what our models can do, taking ideas from early prototypes to reliable products and APIs that people use, often in weeks rather than months.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership across full stack development
  • You have shipped a production API or application on top of generative models and owned end-to-end output quality, not only the surrounding plumbing
  • You have a meaningful backend or systems depth and can work through the user-facing surface
  • You have built or used evaluations for nondeterministic systems and know where those evaluations can mislead you
  • You have worked closely with researchers and can turn product evidence into a precise capability request
  • You act without waiting for fully specified tickets, while aligning clearly on the product bet and constraints
