Augmented Reality Developer Jobs | AR SDKs & Engineering Roles

Augmented reality developer jobs focus on building experiences that place digital content into the physical world in a way that feels stable, useful, and fast. Depending on the product, you may work on mobile AR (iOS and Android), headset-based mixed reality, or browser-based WebAR/WebXR. Typical projects include retail try-on, product visualization, navigation overlays, marketing activations, industrial guidance, and training experiences.

In many AR engineering roles you will integrate with AR SDKs such as ARKit, ARCore, and cross-platform stacks built on Unity or Unreal. You may implement features like plane detection, image and object tracking, world anchors, occlusion, depth-based effects, and real-time lighting estimation. AR developers also spend a lot of time on performance and reliability: stabilizing tracking, handling sensor edge cases, managing memory, and keeping frame times consistent on a wide range of devices.

The toolset varies by company. Mobile-native roles may emphasize Swift/Objective‑C or Kotlin/Java, camera pipelines, and platform-specific APIs. Engine-focused roles often use C# (Unity) or C++ (Unreal) and require solid 3D math, coordinate systems, transforms, and shader or rendering knowledge. WebAR roles typically use JavaScript/TypeScript with WebGL/WebGPU tooling and frameworks that support AR experiences in the browser.
