OpenXR App Developer

Job Description:

3 years of professional software development experience (or equivalent).

Overview
Were looking for a Contingent Worker (CW) to help build and maintain OpenXR-based XR applications. Youll work closely with engineers and cross-functional partners to prototype implement and iterate on immersive experiences that run across OpenXR-capable runtimes/devices.

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.

Minimum Qualifications

• 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 (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).

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:

• Graphics Experience
• OpenXR app development experience
• Great communication skills
