Software Engineer, Amazon

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• Experience working with REST API based services, or experience with web-based applications and HTTP
• 2+ years of professional C# development experience, including shipped XR work, with emphasis on Unity or Unreal Engine
• Experience developing for Meta Quest, HTC Vive, or comparable head-mounted displays using the Meta XR SDK’s / OpenXR stack
• Strong proficiency with Unity’s gameobject/component model and Unity Editor workflows, including prefabs, scenes, real-time rendering optimization and animation systems, or similar Unreal Engine components
• Experience working with real-time network protocols in Unity for streaming pose, telemetry, and media data between devices
• Experience building functional UI in Unity for end-users, including in-headset HUDs, interactables and tools

Desirable

• We are seeking a Software Engineer to contribute to the development of XR applications for teleoperating Fauna robots. You will work at the intersection of XR engineering and real-time robotics, writing the code that drives the backend of our XR application, from full-body pose projection, operator calibration and telemetry, to the performance and optimization that keeps the teleoperator and the robot in sync
• Your decisions will directly shape how operators and data collectors experience the robot from inside the headset. You will design for the extremes—ensuring a flawless, low-latency experience despite unpredictable real-world network conditions, and implement improvements to tracking, robot communication, and ergonomic and UX challenges characteristic to prolonged XR wear
• Develop and maintain our Meta Quest applications built in Unity for XR teleoperation and data collection
• Write production-quality C# in an event-driven, well-structured Unity codebase, using the Meta XR SDK for full-body tracking and interaction
• Own the live connection between the headset and the robot: real-time pose streams, telemetry and command channels, and audio/video links — debug, harden, and extend these network interfaces as the system evolves
• Maintain and improve our pose projection pipeline, calibration flow, and state-aware input system so operators can drive the robot reliably with optimal ergonomic comfort and strict operational safety guardrails
• Build functional in-headset interfaces and HUDs for teleoperators and data collectors — accessing telemetry data, using menus while teleoperating the robot, managing recording sessions, and intervening during autonomy without leaving XR
• Iterate on operator-facing flows in Unity Editor, including audio-visual guidance from a virtual robot companion that walks operators through calibration, teleoperation, and data collection tasks
• Integrate with backend services to manage data collection tasks, robot selection, and telemetry
• Collaborate with robotics, ML, and operations engineers to translate teleoperation and data-collection requirements into shipping XR features that will augment their workflows
