Software Engineer

Description

Location: Redmond, WA

You’re a Software Engineer with a deep C++ skill set and a passion for working on breakthrough new Graphics technology. You’re also a 3D math whiz with a background in real time systems such as games. You love solving novel problems from first principles. You're always on the lookout for better, faster, and smaller solutions. You enjoy working at all levels of the software stack, from device drivers to operating systems, core libraries to user interfaces. At Oculus Research you'll build cutting-edge research prototypes that explore the future of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Join a world-class team experimenting with bold ideas in areas including optics, haptics, tracking, displays, computer vision, user experience, audio, and perceptual psychology. Work alongside expert Scientists, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers and Software Engineers to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
