About The Position

Canvas is at the forefront of revolutionizing the remodeling, architecture and interior design industry through cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology. With our LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad scans, we capture precise 3D representations of homes in minutes, providing interactive models with accurate-to-the-inch measurements. Our proprietary process then turns these scans into highly detailed, editable, as-built files in industry-standard formats. Our technology was featured in Apple's keynote when the iPhone's LiDAR sensor was introduced and now we model millions of square feet each month. We’re an early-stage startup that is growing and ready to accelerate even further. As a global virtual-first company, our team members are distributed worldwide, with a concentration in the US and Europe. Overview Canvas turns iPhone/iPad LiDAR scans into accurate, structured 3D models for design, construction, and the built world. We help these professionals to see, shape, and realize the full potential of every space. We’ve grown a $300k side project into a nearly $10M business with strong product-market fit for micro-SMBs — and we’re now preparing for our next phase of growth, up-market expansion, and our Series B. We’re hiring a Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) to partner with the CEO, unify Product + Engineering + Design, and inspire the organization toward the next chapter of innovation and scale. This is a highly strategic, high-impact role that requires both executional excellence and exceptional product and technical leadership.
