Job description

About Spacial: At Spacial, we’re redefining how the built world gets designed, engineered, and approved. With decades of combined experience across architecture, engineering, and construction, we’ve felt the industry’s pain points firsthand — slow approvals, endless redlines, and unclear requirements that derail even the best designs.

We built Spacial to fix that. Our AI‑powered platform automates structural and MEP engineering, transforming 2D plans into permit‑ready, code‑compliant drawings in days, not months.

This isn’t just optimization. It’s a new standard built to give the AEC industry speed, clarity, and control from day one. By connecting architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners on a single platform, Spacial eliminates friction, streamlines approvals, and accelerates how ideas become reality.
