XR Engineering

Mid Full-Time Remote (India preferred) / Guwahati Permanent

Compensation

INR 14 - 25 LPA.

Engagement

Full-Time

Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.

Scope of role

Drive specific initiatives with minimal supervision. Deepen craft. Begin mentoring others.

01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

Build XR features under Senior XR engineer mentorship. Unity or Unreal, your pick — but you should be willing to learn the other. Grow into a Senior XR role over 18-24 months. The bar is comfort engineering as a first-class concern. A feature that triggers vection in 20% of users is not shipping no matter how clean the code is.

02 — The work

What you will own

  • 01 Ship XR features end-to-end under Senior code review.
  • 02 Own per-frame performance on your features (90Hz minimum is the budget).
  • 03 Comfort engineering basics — vection, locomotion, IPD handling.
  • 04 Pair daily with Senior XR engineers.
  • 05 Maintain unit + integration tests.
  • 06 Profile on real device hardware, not just in editor.

03 — The expertise

What we look for

Unity or Unreal at production levelOpenXR familiarityOne XR platform SDK at depthComfort with profiling toolsStrong UX instincts on XR

04 — The bar

Who thrives here

  • You have shipped at least one XR project to a real device platform.
  • You can describe a per-frame perf bug you fixed by reading the profiler.
  • You read XR docs carefully and you can describe a platform constraint that surprised you.
  • You have an opinion about state-management in XR scenes and you can defend it.

05 — How we work

The EduRankAI environment

Remote-first, async-first

Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.

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.

Bharat-built, globally ambitious

We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
