Description
Street Smarts VR is a veteran-owned, dual-use technology platform that's revolutionizing tactical training through virtual reality and improving public safety outcomes. By integrating software, hardware, and training data, SSVR's solution is transforming the VR training landscape.
Across four continents, 10,000 users across dozens of US military and police departments currently train with SSVR - and that's a tiny fraction of the 5 million first responders in the US who carry weapons and for whom training is not just a requirement but a moral imperative. SSVR is forecasting rapid growth over the coming years in both state and local law enforcement as well as all 4 branches of the US Military.
At Street Smarts VR, we understand that military and first responders consistently operate in high stress, high consequence environments. We've lived it. So by leveraging virtual reality and real-world data sources, we've built a fully immersive platform that conditions users to the real life stressors they will face in the field.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will operate cross-functionally across SSVR Platform, Scenario, and 3D Art Teams. You will help to drive strategy, development, and implementation of SSVR's immersive learning solutions as we transform how first responders approach continuous, immersive training.
