Software Engineer - Facial recognition

MR Facial Tracking Application Engineer

We’re working with a pioneering client at the cutting edge of Mixed Reality (MR), and they’re looking for a hands-on software engineer to take ownership of their facial recognition / tracking demo application — scaling it from solid prototype to high-performance, real-time experience in VR/MR.

This is not a lab-based research role. It’s a builder’s role. You’ll lead the engineering of a highly responsive, immersive demo platform where real-time facial recognition and VR systems converge. You’ll be shaping how humans will interact with virtual spaces — expressive, real-time, and fluid.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own and develop the MR facial tracking application in Python and C++
• Scale and optimize the system for real-time performance in VR environments
• Work closely with teams across graphics, hardware, and VR UX to build robust features
• Troubleshoot deeply technical issues and shape the system’s architecture and performance
• Bring best-in-class software development discipline to a fast-moving, high-standards team

What You Need:

• Expert-level Python and C++ — you’re comfortable in both and can write high-performance, clean, testable code
• Solid experience building real-time systems — ideally in facial tracking, computer vision, or similar
• Worked with game engines like Unity or Unreal and know how to make things work in immersive environments
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD, and collaborative software practices
• Bachelor's or Master’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Graphics
• Unreal or Unity engine experience.

Bonus If You Bring:

• Deep experience with facial recognition/tracking in games or MR applications
• Knowledge of real-time machine learning, controller integration, or networked experiences
• Comfort with game physics, audio systems, or embedded device interactions
• Previous work with VR headsets and SDKs — from integration to optimization
