You will hire across XR engineering, virtual-lab simulation, spatial audio, and computer vision. You will own the cross-platform strategy (Meta Quest / Apple Vision Pro / WebXR / our own holographic devices).

High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
