Improbable’s mission is to make new realities possible. These
realities will enrich the human experience, underpin superior decisions,
be the foundation for new businesses and create insights into how the
universe works.
Our first product is SpatialOS; a distributed operating system
capable of producing consequential, persistent simulations at
unprecedented scale. SpatialOS is being deployed in many progressive
game studios and the most critical government institutions across the
world.
We are a British technology company with an internationally diverse
workforce, unified by our desire to achieve extraordinary things.
Fulfilling our long-term vision requires solving some of the most
interesting and difficult problems on earth; the journey to new
realities provides continuous progression and development opportunities
for our world class problem solvers.

You’ll be tasked with building a modern cloud-based architecture as

You'll need a sense of humour and a positive outlook!
