Applied AI/ML Engineer

About Intangible

Intangible is a spatial intelligence company, designed for creatives in industries where space and movement matter — everything from film & advertising to events and defense/space tech. We aim to move beyond verbal intelligence (prompts) to spatial intelligence (3D) by giving generative AI models a better understanding of exactly what humans imagine. We get there with camera-centric control system as well as technical innovation in 3D design, semantic systems, AI/ML, and knowledge graphs — all designed to live on the open web and deliver professional grade control over generative AI models.

We are an interdisciplinary team of engineers, artists and designers that have built and shipped multiple end-to-end products at companies like Apple, Unity, Pixar, ILM, Google and Electronic Arts. Intangible is venture-funded by a16z Speedrun, Crosslink Capital and prominent angels.

We are looking for like minded creative technologists who love their craft and building groundbreaking products.
