The opportunity

At Unity, we believe XR is going to be increasingly important. We are the platform of choice for XR developers today and intend to remain that way. As the XR ecosystem evolves and immersive computing becomes more prevalent, we want to be ready.

As a member of the XR Input team and a performance engineer, you will be responsible for improving the end-user perceived performance primarily in XR input, including both runtime and tools that enable creators to ship immersive experiences to all the XR platforms that Unity supports, from smartphone AR, VR and AR head mounted displays, to as yet unannounced hardware.

What you're looking for

  • Industry experience optimizing performance (preferably for a game/app)
  • Expertise with C++, C#, and interop between the two
  • Development experience with XR platforms
  • Working knowledge of Unity
  • Great teamwork and interpersonal skills, including strong communication skills and a proactive work ethic
