Come invent the future. At Meta’s Reality Labs, software development is vital to turbocharging our scientific explorations and generating the consumer products people will use for decades to come. The Audio Research team is focused on harnessing the power of AR and VR to make virtual sounds indistinguishable from reality and to redefine hearing potential of billions of people, forever transforming the way we work, play, and connect. Our team cultivates an honest and considerate environment where self-motivated individuals thrive. We encourage a sense of ownership and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working on the frontiers of research. As a Software Engineer on the Audio team, you will foster our scientific explorations and generate viable paths to the consumer products that will connect people in meaningful ways for decades to come. In this role you will engage with research scientists and engineers across RL-R to deliver state of the art solutions in the audio domain. Together, let’s step into the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
