Sr. Software Engineer, Generative Models

Intangible

About The Position

Intangible is a spatial intelligence company building a new class of creative tools. Our flagship product, Intangible Studio, is a browser-based 3D platform that takes teams from idea to finished scenes and shots with speed and control. We combine real-time 3D with generative AI, so creatives keep hands-on control of composition, camera, animation, and the overall artistic vision. It is the one platform that brings LLMs, image, video, and 3D generation into a single workflow, backed by a multi-agent architecture and a proprietary world model. What you set up is what you get – the speed of AI visualization and the control of 3D. Intangible runs in production with customers across film, advertising, retail, events, aerospace, automotive, and deeptech – high-stakes creative work where you can’t afford AI slop. Built by veterans of Apple, EA, ILM, Pixar, Unity, and BMW.

Requirements

5+ years building and shipping production software, senior enough to own systems end to end.
Strong TypeScript and Node.js.
Backend platform experience with microservices on a major cloud (Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure).
Working knowledge of 3D: how cameras, projection, perspective, and depth of field work.
Experience with WebGL or WebGPU.
Enough front-end ability to take a feature all the way to the UI.
A demonstrable eye for visual quality, ideally backed by a personal obsession with photography, film, animation, or 3D.
Engineering judgment: understand the code you ship and do not auto-accept AI-generated commits you cannot maintain.
A real visual eye: ability to explain why an image works or does not.
Collaborative by default: jump on a call or ask a question rather than spend three days proving you can do it alone.
Excited by the craft: see what these tools make possible and want every frame hitting the highest quality.
Ahead of the curve: keep the company setting the pace.

Nice To Haves

Gaussian splats
Shaders for post-process work
ECS (entity component system) patterns
Fine-tuning or training generative models
Generative pipelines (e.g. ComfyUI)
Agentic AI or workflow tooling
Game development experience

Responsibilities

Integrate new generative models (images, video, Gaussian splats) into Intangible Studio.
Contribute to features in our 3D engine.
Evaluate new generative models quickly, identify usable ones, and integrate them into our pipeline within days of their launch.
Work across the job system (TypeScript and Node on Google Cloud) and the visualizer.
Evolve the job system and visualizer as model inputs become richer (e.g., image-to-image, image-to-video, video-to-video, multi-image references).
Ensure the cinematic bar is met for all outputs, pushing back on anything that looks off.
Provide reliable US-timezone coverage for the team.
Build and evolve the job system as model inputs grow richer.
Own integrations all the way through: tuning hooks, backend wiring, and the visualizer and UX changes.
Pitch in on the 3D layer: scene composition, cameras and projection, WebGL and WebGPU, Gaussian splats, and shaders for post-process effects.
