Summary:

This role involves building and maintaining OpenXR-based XR applications. The selected candidate 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, scene/interaction systems, and rendering/performance optimizations
• Integrate platform/runtime features where applicable (tracking spaces, anchor-like constructs, passthrough/scene understanding)
• 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, plus solid debugging skills
• Experience with a real-time engine or framework such as Unity (C#), Unreal (C++), 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
