  • Working individually, or within a small group using Agile methodologies, to integrate third party SDKs for next generation hardware and software platforms
  • Working with new and existing hardware platforms to deliver a consistent development experience to our users
  • Ensuring quality by investigating reported issues, participating in code reviews and participating in ongoing meetings for project planning, status meetings, and QA updates.

  • C/C++ development experience
  • C# development experience
  • 3D Math proficiency
  • A willingness to use AI software code generation to accelerate your work while ensuring you know our software architecture to ensure the code you submit is the right solution

You might also have
  • Prior development experience with Android, Windows or other platform-level software development using various native SDKs.
  • Experience using Unity or similar game engines

Zone C: $117,400 - $176,000 USD gross
This range reflects the anticipated base salary for this position. Beyond base salary, this role may be eligible for equity awards and participation in our company incentive plans (such as annual discretionary bonuses or sales commissions).
