<div class="job__description body"><div><p><strong>About The Company:</strong></p>
<p>Three Space Lab is a seed-stage company,&nbsp; founded in 2019 as a spin-out from the MIT Media Lab. With our roots in multi-user virtual reality learning environments, we now focus on scalably bringing value to the real estate industry using our technology, helping developers to sell their project visions and buyers to make confident decisions. Our proprietary technology enables us to deliver photo-realistic experiences to participants who are together or far apart.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><em>Research indicates that women and individuals from underrepresented groups often apply for a job only when they meet 100% of the listed requirements. If you believe you possess the skills necessary for the role but may not meet every qualification, we encourage you to reach out to us anyway.
