- Experience working with two or more from the following: iOS app development, SwiftUI/UIKit, Google Maps.
- Experience with computer vision and Augmented Reality (AR).
- Experience with geometric models and 3D coordinate systems.
- Expertise in performance profiling and optimization on mobile devices.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement high-performance XR navigation components using Swift/Objective-C.
- Integrate and optimize motion tracking and localization algorithms to enable spatially aware user experiences.
- Collaborate closely with UX and product management to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on features, ensuring maximum user value and defining the future roadmap for Maps in XR.
- Maintain high standards for performance, stability, and code maintainability across the full development lifecycle.
- Integrate Gemini Live to develop novel, real-time, AI-powered navigation and contextual guidance experiences.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
- Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- Versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack.
- Collaborate closely with UX and product management.
