Reality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality. Software development is vital to empowering our scientific explorations and generating viable paths to the consumer products people will use for decades to come - products that will truly give people superpowers.
At RL-R Codec Avatars, we aspire to a vision of social VR and AR where people are able to interact with each other across distances in a way that is indistinguishable from in-person interactions, with Codec Avatars that look like you and move like you. We're just getting started. You can help us make this dream a reality and accomplish your life's best work here!
As a Software Engineer on the Live Telepresence team, you will be working on the cutting edge of Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences. With our team, you will explore, prototype, and build experiences that define the future of how people interact through immersive telepresence with Codec Avatars. You will work closely with engineers, scientists, and research product managers to build and scale an internal XR calling service and solve user and researcher challenges that are unique, complex, and nuanced. We are looking for a developer with experience in user interfaces, infrastructure, and/or tools supporting applications on the iPhone or iPad using the iOS SDK.
