Senior Machine Learning R&D Engineer – Matterport

Job Description

CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) is a leading global provider of commercial and residential real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces. Included in the S&P 500 Index, CoStar Group is on a mission to digitize the world’s real estate, empowering all people to discover properties, insights and connections that improve their businesses and lives. We have been living and breathing the world of real estate information and online marketplaces for over 35 years, giving us the perspective to create truly unique and valuable offerings to our customers.

We’ve continually refined, transformed, and perfected our approach to our business, creating a language that has become standard in our industry, for our customers, and even our competitors. We continue that effort today and are always working to improve and drive innovation. This is how we deliver for our customers, our employees, and investors. By equipping the brightest minds with the best resources available, we provide an invaluable edge in real estate.

Matterport is leading the digital transformation of the built world. Our groundbreaking spatial computing platform turns buildings into data making every space more valuable and accessible. Millions of buildings in more than 170 countries have been transformed into immersive Matterport digital twins to improve every part of the building lifecycle from planning, construction, and operations to documentation, appraisal, and marketing. This role is located in our Sunnyvale, CA office and has a schedule of 4 days on-site and 1 day remote.

As a Senior Machine Learning R&D Engineer on this team, you will research and build the next generation of neural reconstruction and generative systems that power Matterport’s digital twins. Rather than reconstructing only what the camera saw, our goal is to generatively complete spaces — filling occlusions, synthesizing unseen views, upgrading capture fidelity, and ultimately generating entire coherent 3D environments. You will work at the intersection of neural rendering, novel view synthesis, and generative modeling, training large‑scale models on Matterport’s proprietary data to solve problems that no existing dataset or model can address.

This is a hands‑on research‑and‑engineering role for someone who wants to push the state of the art in 3D generative AI and ship it into a product used across 170+ countries. You will collaborate closely with fellow researchers, platform engineers, and product teams to translate frontier ideas into capabilities our customers can feel.

• Research, design, and train large‑scale foundational models for 3D reconstruction and generative scene completion, leveraging Matterport’s proprietary corpus of real‑world spatial data.
• Advance the state of the art in neural rendering (e.g., Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, feed‑forward/large reconstruction models) and novel view synthesis for real‑world indoor and outdoor spaces.
• Develop generative approaches — including diffusion models and video/3D generation — to complete occluded or missing regions, synthesize unobserved viewpoints, and enhance the realism and completeness of digital twins.
• Design, implement, and optimize scalable training and inference pipelines for large 3D and multi‑view datasets, including images, video, point clouds, and meshes.
• Translate research prototypes into production‑ready systems, partnering with engineering teams to integrate models into Matterport’s core capture and reconstruction platform.
• Define rigorous evaluation methodologies and benchmarks for reconstruction quality, view synthesis fidelity, and generative plausibility; drive iterative improvements against them.
• Stay current with advances across neural rendering, generative modeling, and 3D vision, and proactively identify opportunities to apply new techniques to Matterport’s challenges.
• Collaborate with product managers, software engineers, and researchers to scope projects, assess technical feasibility, and deliver high‑impact features.
• Contribute to the architectural design and…
