Job Description

At Reality Labs (RL), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join our team. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in Unreal Engine and C++ and who can work with a team of researchers who are building prototype research devices for haptic feedback and input in AR/VR. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities. The ideal candidate will be someone who likes to learn constantly, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving. They will also be someone who likes to collaborate in a team environment across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, making the architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver software solutions.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Analyze, evaluate, design, develop, integrate, debug and test real-time AR and VR software and demos for advanced prototypes and user experiences using C++ and Unreal Engine
• Build software, tools, infrastructure, documentation and other systems that enable research scientists and designers to be more effective and efficient
• Work side-by-side with research scientists to integrate state-of-the-art algorithms into an end-to-end system
• Work with unfamiliar hardware to integrate systems together
• Write clean readable code, debug complex problems that span systems, prioritize ruthlessly and get things done with a high level of efficiency and independence
• Learn constantly, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• BS degree in the field of computer science, game development, or related fields
• 5+ years’ experience with C++, including C++11 (and up) features and principles
• 2+ years’ experience using Unreal Engine to ship one or more products or high-quality indie or hobby projects
• Experience shipping one or more products using standard software development toolsets such as source control and continuous integration systems
• Experience with 3D math and linear algebra

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience developing AR/VR applications and familiarity with controller and hand tracking based interaction
• Experience integrating third-party hardware and custom SDKs into existing engines
• Experience working with assets for immersive VR (3D modeling, texturing, audio, VFX, etc.)
