Senior XR Input Engineer

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 focused on hands, body, and gestures, you will be responsible for building features such as user-defined hand gestures, 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.

Your mission will be to add to and improve all things XR Input - primarily hands, body, and gestures - all the way down to the platform APIs that support them, as well as improving and crafting supporting intuitive workflows. If making all things XR related reach their full potential drives you, Unity should be the next stop in your career!
