Job Description

In Mixed Reality, people—not devices—are at the center of everything we do. Our tech moves beyond screens and pixels, creating a new reality aimed at bringing us closer together— whether that’s scientists “meeting” on the surface of a virtual Mars, a veteran mechanic helping a trainee across the world, or some yet undreamt-of possibility. We’re creating products that blend hardware, computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and more. From HoloLens to virtual reality headsets to the Mixed Reality Services that power them all, we’re a growing team of talented engineers and artists putting technology on a human path. We believe there must be a better way. If you do too, we need you!
