XR Programmer

An XR (Extended Reality) Programmer develops immersive experiences in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or mixed reality (MR), working on the technical aspects of these cutting-edge technologies.

As an XR Programmer, you’ll work on creating interactive experiences for VR and AR platforms. You’ll code the systems that allow users to interact with virtual environments, often working with hardware like VR headsets or AR devices. You’ll use engines like Unity or Unreal, as well as programming languages like C# or C++, to build immersive experiences that respond to user input in real time.

Many XR Programmers have degrees in computer science, software engineering, or game development, with specific experience in VR/AR development. Understanding 3D math, physics, and real-time rendering is crucial.

For this role, you should be excited about working with cutting-edge technology and have a passion for building immersive, interactive experiences. You’ll need to be comfortable with complex systems, spatial design, and solving the unique technical challenges of XR development.

Your portfolio should include examples of VR or AR projects you’ve worked on, showcasing your technical skills and ability to create interactive and immersive experiences.
