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.
