About the Role
Moonlake is building the frontier of interactive world models: systems that generate, simulate, and reason over 3D environments for robotics, embodied AI, and interactive applications. We develop the infrastructure that enables intelligent systems to learn, evaluate, and interact within realistic virtual environments before operating in the physical world. We are looking for exceptional engineers to help build the simulation systems that will power the next generation of robotics and embodied intelligence.
