Graphics Software Engineer - OpenXR

Job 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)
• 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

Skills:

• Graphics Experience.
• OpenXR app development experience.
• Great communication skills.
• 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, swap chains, 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).

Education/Experience:

• 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.
