Design and build out intuitive spatial user interfaces and visualizations.

Harden our XR data sync processes.

•

Integrate custom hardware stacks with off-the-shelf XR headsets.

Jump across hardware experiments, bug fixes, and new feature development as priorities shift.

Requirements:

•

Deep hands-on XR development experience - OpenXR, Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, and/or WebXR,

•

Comfortable working in XR for extended periods; this is your daily environment, not an occasional tool.

•

Strong C++.

•

Experience with video streaming and low-latency transmission systems.

•

Experience with high-precision motion-capture systems and tracking technologies.

•

Startup experience — you know how to operate with ambiguity and move fast.

Bonus: computer vision, robotics, custom hardware, cloud APIs, haptics.
