We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.
We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.
World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.
Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll do
Lead design projects, including new features and improvements to our mobile and web platforms
Produce, iterate, and prototype concepts for creative workflows
Collaborate closely with the engineering and product teams to suggest product and process improvements
Contribute to maintaining visual and user experience consistency across our products
What you’ll need
Experience designing flows, prototypes and high-fidelity UI's for web products and strong visual design skills
Understanding of modern web technologies, web interactions, and usability standards
Experience delivering and iterating fast in close collaboration with engineering, product, and data teams
Ability and flexibility to iterate fast and often
Comfortable picking up unfamiliar parts of the product rather than waiting to be assigned only what you already know
Knowledge and understanding of the creative tool space
