  • Software Development in C/C++

  • Core VR Technologies (tracking, optical calibration, display customization)

Like most roles at Valve, we don't have headcount targets, we aren’t actively looking to fill an open position, and we don’t generally require specific credentials or qualifications. We’re just always looking for great people to hire.
