Senior engineer building full-stack vision/camera/imaging pipelines for Google's next-generation XR devices
Google's XR team is hiring a senior engineer to build vision and imaging/camera solutions — image processing pipelines, computer vision, computational photography — for lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets, optimizing across the software stack for quality, latency, and power. The role requires 5 years of C++/Java development plus hands-on experience with imaging pipelines and concurrency on mobile, and involves close collaboration with UX, product, physical design, and Google Research/Android teams.
