Oculus VR - http://www.oculusvr.com/careers - Irvine, CA

Help us bring Virtual Reality back! Oculus is up to around 40 people (primarily engineers), and we are expanding quickly. In addition to a huge variety of positions in Irvine, CA, Oculus is now looking for software engineers in Dallas, Tx.

A few of the positions that are especially important to us right now are:

* Senior Android Engineer - We're looking for experts in kernel, system level, and/or graphics programming on Android in both Dallas and Irvine.

* Embedded Systems Engineer - We need hardware hackers in Irvine to help define, prototype, and program the systems going into future projects.

* Computer Vision Engineer - We're looking for engineers with a strong 3d math background and experience with computer vision research and algorithms.

* Senior Audio Engineer - This one is fresh enough that it isn't on the job listings page, but we're looking for an audio expert with experience with positional audio and HRTFs.

The full set of job listings you can apply to is at http://www.oculusvr.com/company/careers/

You can also email me directly at nirav.patel@oculusvr.com



Nirav, could you please reply to an email? At least when it is from a HN user. Thanks.

EDIT: I sent an email more than a month ago. Second one two weeks ago. No reply. So what's the problem? (asking to downvoters)


I'm not going to downvote, but I feel like your request for a response could have been handled better. Your comment sounds too hostile (to me).

I think you will get better reception if you approach the situation without assuming the worst. (e.g. "I think my emails may not be getting through/trapped in the SPAM folder/are being missed" vs. "You are purposefully ignoring me")

Good luck.


Sorry, replied via email. We don't have a full time recruiter or HR person (it's a position on our careers page), so replying to each application in a personal manner is time taken out of engineering at the moment.


so to be clear, you're soliciting applications, including on HN. People are spending their time to create cover letter / resume / send an email. And you can't be arsed to reply to that email. Got it.


Your request is 100% legitimate. People put a lot of time and effort into applying to jobs. Not answering for a month is just not acceptable. Even a reply that says "We're still reviewing your application" is good enough. I hear from friends this happens in companies which have the resources and people and that's just shows the real company culture, the one not mentioned in the careers pages.


Consider that job bye bye


Senior Android Engineer?

I wonder if they'll copy AetherAR?
