What We Do
Katmai is a Software Development Company.
Powered by the the Katmai Engine, we have created a virtual office to bring remote and hybrid teams together over video and audio in 3D environments. With single click invitations, the virtual office provides a browser-based place for teams and their guests to meet, collaborate, and benefit from spontaneity of the physical office.
The 3D environments are divided into private sound zones with encrypted audio and video, providing a level of realism and ease that remote work has been missing. Teams can hold all-hands meetings, share their screens in both 3D and 2D, and ease into private conversations, bringing the presence of IRL to the comfort of WFH.
Why Work With Us
Our team is fully distributed and we work inside of our own product. We span ten time zones and are building an exciting, next-generation way to work and play. We value low-ego personalities and cross-functional teams.
