Job Description

About the Company:
Three Space Lab is a seed-stage company, founded in 2019 as a spin-out from the MIT Media Lab. With our roots in mult-user virtual reality learning environments, we now focus on scalably bringing value to the real estate industry using our technology, including helping developers sell their project visions, and buyers make confident decisions. Our proprietary technology enables us to deliver photo-realistic experiences to participants who are together, or far apart.

We're a dynamic and inclusive team comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Our collective passion lies in crafting immersive, purpose-driven VR solutions. Embracing a remote-first ethos, we prioritize flexibility and collaboration across all aspects of our work culture.
