Job Description:
? Senior Software Engineer - Spatial Interaction & Sensor Integration (VR/XR/AR) - UK / Remote Flexible
Our client is building the next generation of spatial interaction using stretchable sensor gloves that deliver high-fidelity 3D hand articulation and gesture recognition across VR, XR, and AR platforms. They are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to architect and implement the core software that transforms rich sensor data into real-time, robust interaction models for PCVR and standalone headsets.
In this role, you will:
*
Build real-time 3D hand tracking and gesture recognition pipelines in Unity3D and Unreal Engine.
*
Develop high-performance native code in C#, C++, and C for multiple XR platforms.
*
Integrate low-level sensor data and device protocols alongside hardware and firmware teams.
*
Optimise performance, latency, and memory usage across diverse hardware targets.
*
Maintain and enhance SDKs, supporting external developers and ensuring consistent behaviour across devices.
*
Mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, and contribute to product roadmap planning.
Required Skills:
*
Commercial experience in C#, C++, C, with a focus on real-time or systems-level development.
*
Proven Unity3D and Unreal Engine product delivery experience.
*
Experience deploying to PCVR and standalone XR headsets (Quest, Vive, Pico, WMR, etc.).
*
Familiarity with XR runtimes and interaction frameworks (OpenXR, SteamVR/OpenVR, Oculus/Meta XR).
*
Strong understanding of hand tracking, multi-threaded debugging, and low-level OS/hardware concepts.
*
Experience with BTLE communication, Jira, and cross-functional collaboration.
Desirable: Sensor fusion, IMUs, ML-based gesture recognition, robotics, haptics, biomechanics, or real-time simulation experience.
Why Join Our Client:
*
Influence the future of spatial interaction and human-computer interfaces.
*
Work with cutting-edge hardware used by developers, researchers, and creators worldwide.
*
Join a collaborative, engineering-driven culture where your technical decisions make a real impact.
