Aptask Global Workforce (AGW) is seeking a Software Engineer III for an Onsite position with a Leading Technology Firm located in Redmond, WA. This is a 12 month contract opportunity. We are looking for a developer to help build and maintain OpenXR-based XR applications. You will work closely with engineers and cross-functional partners to prototype, implement, and iterate on immersive experiences that run across OpenXR-capable runtimes and devices.
Responsibilities: - Develop XR applications using OpenXR (end-to-end: architecture, implementation, testing, and iteration)
- Build interactive features such as: Input handling (controllers, hands, action sets, haptics), Scene/interaction systems (grabbing, ray interactions, UI in 3D), and Rendering and performance optimizations (frame pacing, latency-sensitive updates)
- Integrate platform/runtime features where applicable (tracking spaces, anchor-like constructs, passthrough/scene understanding if available via extensions)
- Create clean, testable code and contribute to basic CI/build scripts as needed
- Debug runtime/device issues (graphics, tracking, input) and provide clear repro steps and fixes
- Collaborate with product/UX and engineering stakeholders; document designs and tradeoffs
Requirements: - 3+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience shipping 3D real-time applications (XR, games, simulation, or visualization)
- Practical experience with OpenXR (core concepts: instance/session, swapchains, spaces, actions)
- Strong C/C++ and/or C# skills (depending on stack), plus solid debugging skills
- Experience with a real-time engine or framework such as: Unity (C#) and OpenXR plugin ecosystem, or Unreal (C++) XR pipeline, or Custom/native OpenXR rendering with Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX
- Understanding of rendering/perf constraints for XR (72/90/120 FPS targets, GPU/CPU bottlenecks, latency)
Desired skills: - Shipped at least one OpenXR-based app or feature to production
- Experience with OpenXR extensions (e.g., hand tracking, eye gaze, foveated rendering, scene/space-related extensions)
- Graphics experience: Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX, shaders, profiling tools (RenderDoc, engine profilers)
- Android XR experience (Gradle, NDK, JNI) or low-level platform integration
- Experience building reusable components/frameworks for XR interaction or app scaffolding
Pay range up to: $97.94 per hour
