As part of the platform team your work will cover areas as diverse as camera access, video rendering, GPGPU, networking as well as integrating with platform AR enablers such as ARKit, ARCore and Windows MR. You will be working on a complex suite of multi-threaded software and keep your eyes on performance to deliver the best AR user experience.
