Senior Embedded Developer

ABOUT US

AtPlanitar, we build technology that helps people see and understand the worlds spaces more clearly.

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

Planitarrecently joinedREA Group, one of the worlds leading digital property companies. REAoperatesAustralias largest residential and commercial property platforms, including realestate.com.auand has a growing global footprint across Asia and North America.Together, we are shaping the future of property technology, combiningPlanitarsdeep spatial dataexpertisewith REAs global scale and innovation engine.

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

OUR VISION

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

We believe thataccurate, accessible spatial data has the power to transform how people buy, sell, insure,buildand manage property.
