Who We Are
At Statespace we’re using cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and video games to revolutionize the way that humans improve.
With over a million users, our first product (Aim Lab) is a personalized, AI-powered analytics and training platform for competitive gamers and Esports athletes.
Our team consists of scientists, designers, engineers, and game industry vets coming together from places like Airbnb, Uber, NASA, Facebook, Nintendo, NFL, NYU and Yale. We are well-funded and supported by some of the world’s best VCs, including Khosla Ventures and FirstMark Capital.
Our Culture
Weird. Non-traditional Background. Underdog. Outcast. If people have used any of these words or phrases to describe you... welcome home. Kick-ass engineer or designer without a degree? Come join our team. We hire talented, self-motivated people and let them build.
We offer unlimited PTO, generous compensation (including exciting equity!), as well as medical, dental, vision, and retirement plans.
We’re looking for smart, self-directed people who are excited about bringing new ideas to the table and can thrive in a startup environment. We value performance, not hours worked (or when you work them). We believe you shouldn’t have to miss your kid’s play or doctor’s appointment for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
