## About the Role

* 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

## Description

You'll be working within our small but impactful XR team, contributing to a number of critical projects. One morning you might be debugging an XR app, the next afternoon you're running a hardware experiment on the robot. You'll thrive here if you love that kind of variety and move fast without needing a playbook.

What You'll Do

 * Build and maintain XR products to interface with our robots and data-capture hardware - implementing features, fixing bugs, and ensuring reliability as we scale
 * 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
