About the role

Niantic Spatial, Inc. seeks a Staff Engineer, Robot Learning in San Francisco to lead real-to-sim product development for embodied AI. You’ll own roadmaps, set technical requirements, prototype critical features, and evaluate policy transfer with a strong emphasis on production-grade software. You’ll work closely with executives, researchers, and engineers to advance simulation fidelity, training workflows, and deployment in real-world environments.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
