We're building ground-breaking spatially intelligent real-time experiences - body tracking, interactive 3D, computer vision for the devices people already own. Join an elite team that’s shipping regularly. Work from an awesome Frank Gehry-designed loft on Venice Beach.

 

What You’ll Do at Spatial Magic

As a Technical Game Designer you will be a core creative and technical contributor, combining full-body game development with real-time computer vision and AI. Your expertise will be crucial in creating the compelling and intuitive experiences that define our platform.

  • Create fun and effective core loops with magic moment-to-moment feel.
  • Develop and architect high-performance game features, mechanics, and systems for spatial computing environments.
  • Optimize graphics and gameplay performance to ensure smooth, high-fidelity experiences on real-time platforms.
  • Integrate and leverage real-time data from our AI and computer vision pipeline (3D tracking, motion analysis) directly into game logic and visualization.
  • Collaborate closely with our team to translate cutting-edge technology into fun, responsive, and immersive gameplay.
  • Research, prototype, and implement innovative game and graphics techniques unique to full-body spatial computing and AI-driven rendering.

 

Who You Are‍

We want people who love to reason from first-principles, have a bias for building over having endless meetings, and are excited to bring new culture shaping products to life.

  • 5+ years of experience in professional game development, interactive applications, or real-time simulation, with a focus on core game design and development.
  • Strong expertise in Game Engines (Unity preferred), with a deep understanding of game architecture, performance profiling, and optimization on various platforms.
  • Experience with real-time physics and physic-based gameplay, animation systems, or advanced visual effects programming.
  • Knowledge of shaders (HLSL/GLSL).
  • A strong passion for creating groundbreaking gaming experiences and pushing the boundaries of interaction at the intersection of spatial computing and gaming.

 

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience integrating computer vision frameworks into a live game environment.
  • Familiarity with the challenges and techniques of developing for spatial computing or XR platforms.
  • An interest in spatial intelligence, music and gaming.

 

Why Join Us?

You'll join a world-leading team that has created spatial products and technologies used daily by 100s of millions of people, understand the journey of successfully starting and growing a startup—and know what it takes to scale a young company to IPO and beyond. We are now building the next era of spatially intelligent computing, for everyone.

  • Work on cutting-edge spatial intelligence and computer vision projects.
  • Shape the creative and technical direction of a high-growth, high-impact company.
  • Ship products that reach users quickly and at scale—no red tape.
  • Competitive compensation, equity opportunities, and a flexible work environment.

 

Compensation

Venice Beach, Los Angeles (in-person preferred)

About
Spatial Magic

Join us in creating new real-time, spatially intelligent 3D experiences powered by computer vision and machine learning that are fun, accessible, and useful–and built for the computing devices we already own and use every day.

We want people who have a bias for building over having endless meetings, love to reason from first-principles, and are excited to bring new culture shaping products to life.

If you love to quickly prototype new ideas, invest in the magic of creating moment-to-moment flow, and have passion for developing robust and scalable real-time 3D technologies and systems, then this is a fit.

We pay competitively, provide fantastic benefits, and work from an incredible Frank Gehry-designed artist loft on the beach in Venice, Los Angeles. We prefer to work in-person, but are open to hybrid and remote opportunities for the right candidates.

The Aura Touchless Spatial Interface is built with frontier Spatial Intelligence to speak your body’s natural language. It's so natural, you already know how to use it. The way we move to interact with the physical world feels seamless and perfect. Aura makes digital interaction feel just as natural.

We grew up skateboarding, and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater. One of these pushed our bodies to do more, and the other one pushed our imaginations for what could even be possible. Given the power of this combo, we thought it would be fun to combine our physical spatial intelligence with new digital spatial intelligence, and see where it might take us.

We are using our Aura touchless spatial interface, which makes every movement incredibly instinctual and natural. Together they close the gap between our physical movements and our digital movements. Skate Moves feels instantly great to play.
