The Reality Labs team at Meta is looking for Senior/Lead Software Engineers to support our engineering teams as we build towards our goal of helping more people around the world come together and connect through world-class Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality hardware and software. With global departments dedicated to AR/VR research, computer vision, haptics, social interaction, and more, we are committed to driving the state-of-the-art forward through relentless innovation. AR, VR, and smart glasses have the potential to change the world -- and we're just getting started.
LAugmented and Mixed reality will transform the way people come together to interact, work and play. By developing new hardware and software products capable of understanding the real world and the user within their environment, we aim to make it possible for people to interact with content in their environment and share it with others.
Our Reality Labs division explores, develops and delivers cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundations for the Metaverse and other future Reality Labs products, such as Oculus headsets, smart glasses such as Ray Ban Meta, future AR glasses, and our FB Family of Apps (Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp). From Visual Localization, SLAM, 3D reconstruction, Context/Semantic Understanding, Mapping, Tracking, and Sensor Fusion, our team is focused on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up.
