The Ideal Candidate

You are someone who has built and shipped AR or VR experiences at scalenot just prototypes, but real-world products used by thousands or millions of people. You understand the nuances of spatial computing, can debug tricky tracking issues, and know how to make AR/VR work reliably across highly fragmented devices.

You have deep hands-on experience across major XR platforms. You understand the differences between ARKit and ARCore, know why plane detection fails under certain lighting conditions, and can interpret IMU data to debug tracking drift.

Youve optimized AR applications to run smoothly even on older Android devices.

Youre passionate about spatial computing. Youve tried multiple VR headsets, experimented with emerging AR frameworks, and have strong opinions on tracking systems - inside-out vs outside-in, marker vs markerless, world tracking vs image tracking.

Youre Comfortable Across The Stack

Building native iOS AR experiences in Swift

Developing WebXR features using JavaScript/TypeScript

Working in Unity or Unreal when needed

Writing shaders and optimizing real-time 3D pipelines

Youre a problem solver who has handled real-world challenges such as:

Device fragmentation

Tracking instability

Lighting variation

Occlusion accuracy

Performance bottlenecks

You care deeply about UX in spatial environments. You believe AR/VR is not just about advanced tech - its about creating experiences that feel intuitive, fluid, and magical. You test on real devices, observe real users, and optimize for real-world conditions.

Above all, you bring a mix of technical excellence, practical problem-solving, creativity, and curiosity - someone who loves pushing the boundaries of what AR/VR can do.
