Technical Lead, 3D Visualization

At Planitar, we build technology that helps people see and understand the world’s spaces more clearly.

We are the creators of iGUIDE, a powerful property technology solution that combines immersive 3D tours, accurate floor plans and reliable spatial data into a single, easy-to-use system. Our cameras and software platform are used by professionals in real estate, insurance, construction and property management to simplify their work and deliver better results.

Planitar recently joined REA Group, one of the world’s leading digital property companies. REA operates Australia’s largest residential and commercial property platforms, including  and has a growing global footprint across Asia and North America. Together, we are shaping the future of property technology, combining Planitar’s deep spatial data expertise with REA’s global scale and innovation engine.

We work in a hybrid environment headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario and are growing quickly as we expand our impact worldwide.

A connected future where reliable spatial data enables informed decisions across the property lifecycle.

Our values guide how we work, build and grow together.
