Job Description

Reality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality. The Audio Research team is focused on harnessing the power of AR and VR to make virtual sounds indistinguishable from reality and give audio superpowers to billions of people, forever transforming the way we work, play, and connect.In this role, you will join a team of software engineers and collaborate with pioneers in research, electrical engineering, firmware engineering, and user experience design. You will learn constantly, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving. Together, we are going to build cutting-edge prototypes and create the audio technology that can define a paradigm shift in how we interact with our surroundings. So we invite you to step into the adventure of a lifetime, as we make science fiction real, and change the world.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, integrate, optimize and debug real-time AR and VR audio software for advanced prototypes and user experiences
• Build tools, platforms, infrastructure and documentation that enable more efficient and effective research
• Build a community of researchers and other team members by sharing software engineering best practices, tips and techniques
• Collaborate in a team environment across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, making the architectural trade-offs required to rapidly deliver software solutions
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional programming experience in building real-time, performance sensitive systems
