Improbable believes in a future where new, virtual worlds will augment human experience and become as meaningful, lasting and rich as the physical world. We call this the Multiversal Self.
Our platform, SpatialOS, lets developers transcend the limits of regular computation, allowing swarms of servers running in the cloud to cooperate in order to simulate worlds far larger and more complex than any single server could.
At Improbable, you are surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them, and who compel you to improve yourself. We’re motivated by the fulfilment of solving hard problems to achieve something profound and transformative.

You’ll be building flexible services and tooling which allows Improbable to rapidly scale whilst delivering a seamless experience to our customers. This team is responsible for providing a production environment where simulations can run reliably and at scale.
To achieve this we build on cutting-edge open-source projects including Kubernetes, Prometheus, the CoreOS stack, Docker and more. See our recent contributions on our
