About the job
About Roam
Roam is an Applied AI lab building World Models for highly retentive 3D environments. We're lifting models from the 2D plane of pixels into the full dimensionality of interactive worlds. Our work spans everything required to perceive, reason about, and create in 3D, with applications across simulation, design, and play.
Our first focus is gaming: 3D environment generation and understanding for interactive entertainment, technology that enables millions of people to explore, create, and share highly engaging worlds together.
Similar to how TikTok turned everyone into a creator through easy-to-use tools, we will let everyone turn their ideas into games without needing any technical skills.
Since founding earlier this year, we have
- Locked in 1,000+ gaming & livestream creators (100 K–10 M followers each) who will launch Roam games to an aggregate reach of 250 M+ fans.
- Assembled a 12 person applied AI team spanning Ex-Moonshot (post-training & agents, diffusion model training), second-time technical founders, engineers that made 100+ games for Voodoo, Supersonic, Sidemen and built mobile apps from 0–2M DAUs.
- Raised an unannounced round from investors behind Google Deepmind, Bytedance, Anduril, Together AI and Polymarket, angels from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Deepmind, Cognition, & large content creators.
